After a few days of severe irritability, I just couldn't do that to my husband anymore.
Geodon (20mg) at night just caused severe agitation during the day. I ended up having to take daytime Klonopin & Trileptal to calm down. Then both Geodon. & Trileptal effect my vision, so I had to wear glasses too! Really crappy experience.
I'm still missing the calm, happy feeling I got from an antidepressant, most recently Viibryrd, but I couldn't take the increase in appetite & sexual problems.
I got great sleep last night with 2mg Klonopin & 3mg melatonin.
I always have the option of trying 150mg of Effexor, but am afraid.
Or I could go back to a higher dose of Geodon.
Or I could go back to Buspar.
I have depression, anxiety and irritability. You'd think it would be simple to deal with.
This sucks.
