In reply to Experts please - 3 ques about Geodon?, posted by Sheilac on September 22, 2013, at 14:29:46
when i took geodon, i started at 80mg. it was like that elephant dart everyone talked about for zyprexa...it knocked me out cold...however, it was a startup effect for me. it did eventually get better.
with that said, i think i did mention that it only slightly worked for my depression/anger so my pdoc at the time doubled it to 160 daily. within three days i became psychotic and suicidal.another strange thing is that even though it was very sedating for me and hard to wake up, i remember actually being overly energized during the day. Not sure though if that was increasing aggitation? man icky, or if was really increased energy?
but i wish you best of luck with it.
i> Anyone know why I can't sleep on 80mg of Geodon? I also take 2mg klonopin and 3mg melatonin! Also, why such a big difference in 40-60mg and 80mg of Geodon? 40-60mg knocks me out cold - can't wake up - scary. 80mg doesn't help with sleep at all. What's going on with that? I just need help falling asleep. Once I'm out I'm good.

> It scares me how totally knocked out, almost unwakable, 40 or 60mg of Geodon makes me. But 80mg makes it really hard to sleep. I can't split the dose. Any daytime Geodon would make me a zombie.
