I started out with 40 mg twice a day but that made me too tired, so somehow I weaned myself down to 20 mg twice a day. I have now decided to get off this drug. I've been taking the 20s for about 2 years. I've been pulling the capsules apart and dumping about half the ingredients out. I plan to do this for about two weeks. Then I'll dump even more of the medicine out and continue another week or two. Hopefully this will be enough to avoid a majority of the withdrawal symptoms. I'm hoping this will be sufficient to finally stop this drug what do others think?
I stopped Geodon 1 1/2 weeks ago and have had no problems. I was on 80 mg. The geodon also stopped my menstrual cycle and I'm still waiting for that to come back. It caused me to be very sluggish and mindless. I hated it. It worked in the beginning but then got worse. Good luck.
