Hmm I just calculated and I would need about 120mg Geodon. Hopefully no side effects…

22

Have you tried Zyprexa? @Aziz

It didn’t work even at 20 mg, they even added Seroquel I think 100-150mg at night, I wasn’t stable.

I take 160. That’s supposed to be the max but I think @SkinnyMe takes 240.

Currently I’m on 120 mg - I split two doses of 60 mg between the morning and the evening

@TomCat @antidepressant044

What side effects do you have?

27

It gives me tremors, I faint if I try to get out of bed too fast. And at that high of a dose mild ED. Didn’t have that on lower doses.

Random nausea is probably the most prominent side effect I’ve experienced thus far. Also I’m rarely satisfied with fewer than twelve hours of sleep.

I’m on 240 mg Geodon in divided dosage. I also take 37.5 mg Risperdal Consta depot and 100 mg Seroquel.

I don’t know, but I am taking 80 x 2 daily Geodon and 400 x 2 Seroquel daily. I think that is the max dose for both med’s.

Aziz you can always try 60mg Latuda and 80 mg Geodon, that’s what I take.

I try to avoid Latuda because of nausea, sometimes vomitting, and akathisia which prevented me from sleeping.

Geodon also makes you tired at first but eventually gives you insomnia. You will also need sleeping pills.

Did it help with your negative symptoms though? Sometimes side effects go away. I was extremely drowsy every night when I took it after dinner but it went away after a few months.

Geodon made me an insomniac.

Latuda? Just a bit but I still didn’t have the energy to hangout out with my friends.

38

Did it cause akathisia?

39

To help with the insomnia, I take Cipralex. I get insomnia because of anxiety, which I am not sure if it’s a side effect of Geodon.

Is it because of akathisia? I had that on Latuda.
