I'm on Geodon...
by Kitten24, Mar 13, 2008 04:22AM
Last Wednesday, I saw my psychiatrist, and I was prescribed Geodon to help with the mood swings and the obssessive thoughts that I have. I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder by the way. Well, I've been on it for a week. The last two days I have been really sick and have not felt like eating, and my psychiatrist told me that I have to eat at least 500 calories while taking this medication or it won't be metabolized completely. So, since I haven't felt like eating, I haven't taken it. What exactly are the withdrawal symptoms of this medication? Would withdrawal symptoms be showing up this early on such a low dose(40 mgs)? I've been feeling a little weird, like jittery and kind of "here but not here", and I have started to obssess about things again much more than normal.

I just got off of gedon after 1 month of use. It was the worst withdrawl I could ever imagine. I can now understand what physical addiction is and why crack/ heroin users stay on the drugs, because it feels like you are dying coming off the med. I will NEVER EVER use Geodon, it took a month of my life away and I'm still going through withdrawl.
