So far 80mg Geodon keeps me stable. Not crazy about the weight gain, slight nausea and hot feeling, but what can I do. Maybe these will go away in time?
I miss the weight loss (and compliments I got) when I took Buspar. The weight seemed to fall off me.
My doc was surprised that I went up to 80mg. She also asked if I was taking Trileptal or Buspar. I got the impression she would rather I low dosed Geodon and stuck with Buspar and use Trileptal instead of Geodon for stability. I get that, I guess.
I don't know how that combo would work. At least I could get rid of the nausea, constipation, hot feelings, etc. going back to 40mg, but until Buspar kicked in, I would be taking my Klonopin.
Don't know if I could lose weight unless I eased back to Buspar full time (which pretty much takes 3 weeks).
I'm not doing any switching of meds right now. I will think about what she said.
Since being on 80mg, I've gone up 1 size! Thank goodness I saved those old jeans.
At least when I took Buspar, I lost a size! So I guess I've really gone up 2 sizes within 6 weeks.
This sucks. :(
