how to ween off GEODON safely:due to restlessness

Posted by kiera on April 6, 2005, at 9:41:13

the first three weeks on geodon made me drowsy but once that passed I was convinced this was a miracle drug. but sadly after three months I began tapping my toes,bouncing my knee,couldn't sit still and was impatient restless. I thought it was pressure from my day to day lifestyle but as it got worse I began drinking to calm me down. I did a google search and found out it's called akathesia. I reduced my drug from 60 mg to 40 mg within one week and want to go to 20mg/day. I am afraid what will happen to me if I stop altogether. the restlessness,stiff neck ,jittery reactions are still there. will they go away? does anybody know?

Sorry again if it's confusing here, but I'd also like to redirect this thread to Psycho-Babble Withdrawal. Here's a link:
