I started on Geodon last week and since my mouth has started to grimace again and now I have the wiggles something awful, it's god awful uncomfortable right now can hardly sit still to type this. All the AP's do me like this give me tardives and akinthesia(sp?) I just can't stand it. Been doing pretty good other wise but now I'm not sure I can stay on it....
Took a klonopin but it hasn't touched it, feel like I am crawling out of me skin...sigh
What to do....what to do.....bigger sigh Ya think something is going along well then this crap!

It's wk end but the Dr's at hospital can get in touch w your P-Dr to c what is best to do.
I would diffrently contact my Dr this coming Monday.
when I'm going into highs of BP, I can't stay seated.when I'm a few notchs down from highest part of high. I'm liken to a hamster running circles in a wheel.
Pharmist might maybe be able to tell if new med ( Geodon) has triggered upward clime of or into BP high.
Hang on.
Called my family doc and they are giving her a message....
Called pharmacist and she said Cogentin probably isn't the way to go here, didn't ask why cause I'm not thinking but trying my best.....she said she's going to look some things up and call my doctor....
Mental health system for ya huh?? Trying like hell to avoid a damn ER visit here because NO MONEY to pay for a visit......damn frustrating to say the least!!
This happens with all the AP's they put me on now....never used to happen. I would just go off them and say screw it, trying to NOT do that this time around....but may have to. And I have to SIT with my 95 yo grandmother for 5 hours tomorrow....this is NOT a good situation and I cannot get out of it!!
I'm usually only on lamictal and klonopin and use AP's as a prn...since my geodon trial, I've had to get back on my emergency meds and I'm still squirrley....
Once when some idiot put me on celexa it was the weekend when I was flipping out...I called poison control (was referred) and told them about all my meds and symptoms. They gave me guidance about what to do....
Oh tats, this really sucks, I hope you feel better soon ((((tats)))
Most hospitals work w charity offc's. who will pay part or all of hospital treatment/visit. This is based on person income. Uncertain but someone in billing dept might know name n ph no of said charity.
u might opt to call n find out if hospital of your choise has name n ph no of charity.
I pray that ben med will help.
will my morning med has got me good. so nap time for me. I will check bk later to c how your doing.
They mentioned Lithium at my last visits but I got horrible acne and gained weight and God knows I don't know to be putting on anymore weight.
Will let you guys know the verdict on Monday after I talk to the pdoc. Thanks for your concerns and advice, is appreciated muchly!!
If you must take that stuff, COGENTIN is very very very important. Super important.
Call that psychiatrist. THEY work for YOU.
