Geodon?

I've been taking 180mg of Geodon for mania but I've kind of flat-lined on it. So my pdoc has decided to taper me off of it all together.
Has anyone else ever come off of Geodon? I'm just wondering what kind of withdrawal symptoms to expect? Thanks in advance for any replies : ) Posted on 10/14/09, 02:10 pm |

I went off cold turkey, and the withdrawal was horrific. Raging anxiety and felt like death for 3-4 days.... I'm sure tapering off will be better....

What do you mean by flat-lined? I would suggest tappering off the med so your body can adjust to it and gently tapper onto another medication. I would not go off this med without taking another one in its place. I notice when I missed a dosage, so another replacement anti-psychotic that works on dopamine would be best. Hope this helps.
