So my doctor switched to Geodon due to akathisia from Abilify and now I'm a mess. I've been on Geodon for two weeks. My doctor failed to mention to take with food which I haven't. I barely eat. The akathisia is mainly gone but depression is back. The doctor told me Geodon would work fast but I was only taking 20mg without food and even a couple of glasses of wine. I think the Abilify was still in my system and I haven't gotten to a therapeutic level on Geodon. I don't even get sleepy after taking it. So I went up to 40mg a couple days ago and now I'm crying which actually feels better than wanting to cry but couldn't due to the Abilify. With Abilify I felt like a sort of masked depression. I don't even know if I'm making any sense. Should I give Geodon some more time? I get light glimpses of hope but it goes away. One thing though, my fibromyalgia pain is gone. I woke up today without pain for the first time in months. I've never heard of Geodon used in fibromyalgia patients. Perhaps is a coincidence. I'm sorry for rambling but I also feel this unbearable boredom even though I have stuff to do and go to.
Tried most meds but maoi's or tca's. Did try Emsam not enough umph and expensive. I've been considering Parnate but I am deathly afraid of it. I don't see much enthusiasm from my doctor but I'm beginning to believe she is just done with me. Appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you for reading.
