I have been in hospital since Thursday to start clozapine. They cold turkey stopped me on alcohol and zeldox (geodon) in America and I swear I have had the worst withdrawal I have ever had. It makes me want to drink more than ever. When I told my doc about the zeldox withdrawal he looked at me like I had a second head and they just kept saying it shouldn’t be the zeldox. Well this morning I just released that the intake doctor had not written up my prestiq at all so I haven’t been having 150mg of that a day since Thursday it’s the next Wednesday here now. I am suspect that is the culprit. Withdrawing from an anti-depressant cold turkey is one of the worst feelings I have ever had in my life! I want to kill everyone but at the same time while they are dying in my arms I want them to gently caress me and tell me everything going to be ok. I have been almost shitting my pants a lot. Moody, crying a lot. just ■■■■ like that. My body and brain zaps are constant. I don’t even know if I want to go back on this med or any anti depressant given the withdrawal.
I tried to quit Effexor the same way, and had much the same result. That sounds like s*** man
Woah man your Dr sounds ridiculous you have to taper off that crap you can’t just cold turkey antidepressants and antipsychotics I would reinstate your meds and find a Dr who will taper I know what your going through though they cold turkey abilify on me in the hospital it was hell
I just hope I never have to go in a hospital and try to survive on what pieces of my protocol they will allow me.
Only once in the last many decades have I been over night for any reason in any institution. That is, about 12 yeas ago I was burned in a fire and spent one night up in Boston. And they were able to mess with my meds, too.
When they took me off Geodon and put me on Latuda my anger issues got worse. I think it was the coming off Geodon that did that to me. I had trouble coming off Geodon too.
Geodon withdrawal is insane. I experienced it when my pdoc switched me to abilify with no taper. I would feel sudden and dramatic temperature changes, brain zaps, etc. Felt terrible and unlike any other aps discontinuation
I had the worst withdrawals from Geodon. Even in between doses I’d get brain zaps, nausea, tremors, dizziness. My pdoc told me that there’s no such thing as withdrawals from Geodon. Total bs if you ask me. One of the worst med experiences I’ve had
Too many of the doctors just don’t know.
