Sorry wish I could help more. I don’t know if the geodon also causes sleep problems for you, I have never been on that medication.
Maybe give it some time? Hang in there. I hope you find a solution. Feel free to ask anything, although I may not have more information that would help.
Fox I wish you a good New year as well.
I’ve got a trick and just ask your doc if he agrees.
I use that trick of taking my meds once a day 20 hours before bed time because that it keeps me awake.
The halflife of Ziprasidone id 12 hours and thats why most doctors advice twice a day.
Do you eat enought cause Ziprasidone requires a huge dish of food so 500 kcal and thats not an Apple or slice of Bred.
My guardian won’t allow me to take my meds once a day. I tried that & she took my meds from me & now gives them to me when it’s time to take them. I drink a meal replacement shake of 360 calories when it’s time to take my meds. I don’t think I’ve gone as far up as 500 calories. That’s a lot
Dear girl I don’t want to upset you but a shake won’t do you must take a heavy meal of 500 kcal x 2 each day. I was on that drug for 20 years and forced a heavy meal down every time that I took that drug.
You won’t upset me by saying that. Thank you for letting me know. I’ll have to have a bagel or something along with my shake. My psych nurse said the shake was enough but she could be mistaken
