I called my pdoc and left a message with her secretary and told her that I wanted to be weaned off Geodon.

Just be careful.

I would suggest having an emergency plan in place in case something drastic starts happening.

SOMEONE HELP PlEASE!

B.Princess has ignored me because of a dispute a while ago and I do not contest, HOWEVER;

Please?

please take your meds! But if you want an antidepressant that will give you your libido back, wellbutrin made me a nymphomaniac. I'm serious.

Be really careful, it can cause seizures, but if taken with an anti-seizure mood regulator like depakote, it can be managed.

ya gotta take something. I know depakote and Lithium don't put a dent in my libido at all ... try that maybe?

not even gonna waste my breath.,

I took you off of ignore just to see if you posted any sort of advice to my thread.....thanks for the John Mayer YouTube......you have been redeemed and taken off of ignore....

I have to 100% agree with you!! i just did the same thing about 2 weeks ago... i was soo sick of feeling like a blaa numb idiott ... so i stopped taking my pills during the day and well so far i feel great... i 'know' its not the smartest thing to do but i was soo down, and im hoping that everything continues to go good like they are now... GOOD LUCK HUN!!!

k, i thought i was resonding to the other post you had, where you asked if you didn't feel well, cuz you stopped taking meds.

if u've made the decision, and are well aware of the reprocussions then great@
its all these posts about gee, I don't feel good, i went cold turkey on meds, do ya think that has anything to do with it?????
that i just can't respond to anymore.

can we stop with the silly crap please? You're all my brothers and sisters, and sometimes we fight, but the ignoring and shunning and embargo crap has to stop. Unless someone does something like rips someone off or takes advantage of another's weakness, we should be a familiy. We can help each other, and should stand together. Who else is gonna help us, the fucking normies? sha ...

Bprincess, I have a couple observations and suggestions.

First, you doctor does not control your body, you do. If you do not want to be on a certain medicine because it is jeopardizing your marriage through side effects, tell him. If he doesn't agree or like it, fire him and find a new one. I tell my doctor what I will try and what I will not; they are experimenting with brain chemistry anyway, so why not have control yourself.

And, I don't think your husband is being selfish, no offense intended to the poster that made a comment; men are just that way and if they don't find it at home, watch out. You know if your marriage can survive that or not, but most can't.

Second: I highly do not recommend that you go off your meds completely. Looks like I just contradicted myself, but no. Another responder was right; get a different med. selection one that doesn't affect your libido. They do exists and your libido will come back fast once you find the offending drug. I know from experience that this is true. The problem with going all the way off is that you will find yourself - eventually - back in that black hole of a pit and it will take you a long time to build back up a blood level of meds to get your stable again. It is very risky. You will get a short term solution but end up with a long term problem.

Think about your decision, talk to your husband, and TELL your doctor.

Good Luck.

I do not agree with what you are doing but do keep in touch when it occurs, okay :)

I'm not going to repeat myself, but the comment I left on your other post about feeling irritable, I would also apply here. If you are having problems connecting with your Pdoc, change Pdocs. I have before, until I found the right one that worked WITH me, not me as another check to put into his bank account.

Oh my, my, my......
Princess my dear, You must remember why you are on the meds to begin with. There are many options for meds out there . Please talk to your doctor. Do you have children? If you do, you need to take into consideration the effect it has on them.

Furthermore.....about herbal supplements......
They are not regulated by the FDA so basically you don't know what you are getting from one dose to the next. You could be taking pills that consist of nothing but alfalfa or something.

I do hope you find peace very soon.

I am tired of doctors telling what I can and can't do....tired of my pdoc telling me I can't nap during the day. Tired of being normal.....NORMAL SUCKS MONKEYS BALLS..... I was normal for a year and it got boring after a year of being sane......I am used to the highs and lows of being bipolar.....if I die and commit suicide....oh well at least I'll know I lived instead of being a normal drone!
