Is my geodon making me crazy?

by Lisa_Marie_08, May 09, 2008 01:01AM
I was recently diagnosed wit border line personality and anxiety. I believe the doctor also said something about being manic. He prescribed me geodon 20mg once daily. I have been on this medication for two weeks now and I have recently started seeing things. I have never seen things on or off medication in my life so I'm really worried.When I look at an image it will sort of melt in a way- or make waves. Its not dramatic but it is there. And then out of the corner of my eye I sometimes see what looks like someone walking by very quickly, but no one is there. I am also getting these strange feelings of being watched, like some one is breathing down the back of my neck. I'm freaking out.It's only at night time, or if I am alone. any other time I am fine. Something is telling me that this medicine is making me see whats really there, things that I cant sense while off this medication.Besides this strange "side effect" that I am having, the geodon is working great for my manic spells and depression. I guess my question is- Could geodon be making me see these things and feel this way? It is the only medicine that has fixed my border line symptoms so I rely don't want to switch my meds....mabey I should wait until I'm on it longer?

Well of COURSE it's the medicine making you see and feel this way!  You say you've never seen things or felt this way before taking Geodon so I think you should call your doctor immediatly!

There are many other drugs that help with mania and depression and you don't have to put up with hallucinations to get relief.  

Good luck!
