Three years ago, my wife had a left temporal lobectomy for her seizure disorder. She did very well for the first year, but unfortunately has gone sown hill since.
She has had a long bout with anxiety, hallucinations, suspicion, etc. They have tried her on many different meds including: Prozac, Effexor, celexa, zyprexa, respiridol and seroquel. All have broughton seizures within a matter of a couple of weeks to as little as 3 days on a miniscule dose.
Unfortuantely, she is currently in a facility and her doctors are getting ready to try Geodone. I have done a little reading and it aims to help pretty much every symptom my wife is experiencing. I am wondering if any one out there has either tried Geodone, possibly had this surgery or know of someone who is going through the same things as my wife.
Any information would be helpful.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT HAE TAKEN ZYPREXA,DEPACOTE,ZANAX AND REMRON ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY SIDE EFFECTS SOMEONE HELP PLEASE
If you read the book Prozac Nation, you will see that rx drugs are a form of "shock therapy" as it causes brain damage and calms the self. You mentioned absolutely out of your mind dreams that seem real, I get those when I am withdrawing from medication. So far it's not happened too much with getting off of zoloft because I am still on Klonopin and Deseryl (which they are not making anymore and will only make trazondone). I do believe it is medication or lack thereof. I'm scared to death of the day they quit making Klonopin, I swear the ERs and HOspital rooms will be SWAMPED w/ patients scratching the walls for Klonopin. And they say it's not addictive?! Shame shame shame on psychiatrists! SHAME. Hmmn, you just need to remind yourself constantly that it's a part of your brain that is not really with you, and that it's the medication. To remember it is not real and keep in mind that you are "OK." But if the meds are doing this which seems to be "pushing you to insanity" then I wud not take em... Of course you have to check with your doctor or you'll have adverse and irreversible side effects of getting off em. Please check w/ one.

Yes, it will go away, and the best person to see is a psychiatrist who will help you deal and make sense out of what is going on inside your mind that is generating these symptoms. You are at a new phase of your life, and consolidating your many parts is what is going on now.
