Do you mind if I ask you what kind of dosage you took? Was it a low or high dose? I think of you when I hear about Geodon. Has your problem with your eyes gotten any better? I hope and pray that it will.

> IM LIKE 5 MONTHS OFF THIS DRUG FROM SATANI had the same experience with HARDCORE ANXIETY with Geodon. It threw me, from chronic moderate depression, into major depression. It was torture being alive. I also had horrible withdrawals once I went off. I felt like I was in HELL for about six months afterward. For me Geodon was truely THE DRUG FROM SATAN.

I also had a horrible time with Geodon. Major anxiety and paranoia were the worst. I believe I had a psychotic break. Took months to get over it. I took it for 4 days. Ugh.
Other people do well on it. I sure as sh*t didn't.

In reply to TO ED_UK, posted by Jeroen on January 23, 2005, at 11:19:45
Hi Jeroen,
Which antipsychotic are you going to try next? Clozapine (Clozaril/Leponex)?
>i feel better really, more energy, happyer
I really glad it's helping :-) I've also read that amantadine can have an antidepressant effect. The related drug memantine (Ebixa/Namenda) is apparantly being tested to see whether it will work as an antidepressant.

hi, do you think 5 mg zyprexa will solve the eye problem? should i take 30 mg zyprexa?
i was almost blind when taking zyprexa 10 mg for 2 weeks, aggressive blinking
after 3 weeks i noticed my blinking was bit less but i discontinued the drug for the nasty weight gain

In reply to NEW POST FOR ED_UK, posted by Jeroen on January 23, 2005, at 11:55:39
Hi Jeroen,
It is possible that Zyprexa might reduce the blinking but it is also possible that it might make it worse.
I think you should try taking 2.5 or 5mg Zyprexa. 30mg is a very high dose.
Will you be going to see an ophthalmologist soon?

hi, i just read TD is treatable or reversible with clozaril in general,
also a doctor sais it is reversable within 4 months, my 4 months are almost at an end... i need to do this dont you think? its my last hope to get rid of this...
im affraid to try Clozaril, but if its the only thing that might reverse my tardive dyskinesia
sorry about the urgent matter, but in a few days im going to discuss this with my psy doc...

Hello,
>a doctor sais it is reversable within 4 months, my 4 months are almost at an end... i need to do this dont you think? its my last hope to get rid of this...
No, it is not your last hope. What the doctor probably meant was that if TD is going to improve without treatment, it is most likely to do so within the first four months. TD can be successfully treated at any time.
>im affraid to try Clozaril, but if its the only thing that might reverse my tardive dyskinesia
Clozapine is not the only treatment, there are other treatments that we have discussed.
>also i got taught my cat made me sick, it was her fault, i dont have these taughts when i am unmedicated
Are you having strange thoughts? It could be the amantadine, sometimes amantadine worsens psychotic symptoms. Make sure that you tell your new psych doctor that you are taking amantadine.
Best Regards,
Ed.

the only taught with amantadine was i felt much much better after a week on it, but i did had some taught maybe it was bit euphoria, that i will get cured of my problems, and in the future they can cure everybody perfectly, that theres an answer for everything, i felt good while having these taughts
amantadine caused these taughts... im affraid i will get psychosis of these taughts.. thats whats actually bothering me from the amantadine
seroquel did gave me strange taughts, i heared some people telling you can get psychotic when taking seroquel, im PRETTY sure i got it from that taughts that my cat made me sick and its her fault is not a normal taught, i usually think lot of my cat because of care of her, so these taught are PROOF that its bad!!! i REALLY DONT KNOW ANYMORE!!!!will Clozaril can make me also psychotic?
i dont want that, im VERY affraid!

Hi Jeroen,
What dose of amantadine are you taking at the moment?
>will Clozaril can make me also psychotic?
That would be very unlikely!

Amantadine takes a while to help TD, you'll need to be patient!! I'm really pleased that you're feeling happier!
