In reply to Geodeon Withdrawal?, posted by MichaelJr on April 6, 2005, at 8:39:27
Check with your doctor. I would think that discontinuation should be done slowly. Also, geodon affects the heart so check with your doctor to make sure you discontinue it in the proper way. If your depression returns, don't hesitate to go back on it.
> I have been on geodon for about 8 months, and it has been really helpful for me. My depression has pretty much subsided.

> So, I am hoping that with the work done in therapy I can get off the geodon. From what I have read, I am going to have a hell of a withdrawal period. Also, I am worried that I wllll just go back to being depressed if I get off it. But, I feel that it's worth a shot.

> So, any thoughts or suggestions for my situation? Has anyone experienced geodon withdrawal in the past? Thanks.
