In reply to Withdrawal from geodon, posted by marie44 on May 19, 2004, at 20:07:30
Yeah, I felt a real spiritual deadness on Geodon. Creativity... yeah kinda muffled. I'm currently going off Geodon and feel happy to get back to my former level of activity/motivation/spiritual insight. I've had no bad side effects yet from withdrawal but it's only day one.
I found that when I first started on Geodon, it had a very positive effect. It even helped me get a handle on my housework (previously elusive). Then I kept getting to a point of "let down" where I felt I needed more to stay in good spirits. But as the dosage increased there was not a corresponding raising of spirits (mood). It took me several months to realize that Geodon is not the silver bullet I've been searching for.
I suffer from depression -- have been taking
Zoloft before, during and will continue after Geodon. Geodon gave me a tempory boost, but it looks like the ride is over. I realized this when I forgot a dose and actually felt good and clear headed. I only wish I could just go cold turkey, but I have a family that needs me sane (mostly).
