I can't take it anymore, I'm so depressed.
I was doing good on 40mg of Geodon, except for weight gain & hunger. But I had a really bad experience recently on 40mg of Geodon. I had to wake up in the middle of the night due to a family emergency and it was impossible. I had 3 shots of esspresso and coffee and I just felt drugged up and dizzy.
One of the reasons I've been taking Geodon is because it helps with sleep, but totally unconscious was scary to my family. So I quit cold turkey and now I'm in the depths of depression.
I'm still taking Trileptal, which keeps me from severe irritability, but it causes such bad depression.
I'm wondering, in desperation, if 20mg of Geodon would help with depression. I would hope that it wouldn't knock me out cold. I still have the heart concerns with Geodon, (it can cause atrial fib and I already have low blood pressure). But I'm so desperate.
I don't see my doc until later in the week. I don't know what other suggestions she will have for me, but this might be one of them.
I'm desperate. I wish someone could clear my mind of the fog and depression.
