startup of abilify + zoloft OR geodon withdrawal

Posted by LlurpsieNoodle on July 28, 2007, at 15:07:04

So, last night was pretty wicked.

the worst insomnia I've had in months, despite taking 2 sonata and also my regular dose of klonopin.

I'm tapering off of geodon.

took 240 for a week, then 180 for a day, now 120 for the next week then 60 for a week then nil. (reasons- it puts me in medicated stupor which I will do just about anything to escape)

Meanwhile

Started Abilify yesterday. bedtime dose of 5mg
Started Zoloft yesterday. bedtime dose of 25mg (will eventually go up to 50mg)

Any thoughts on whether the following symptoms are more characteristic of withdrawal or start-up?

insomnia
brain zaps & tinglies
nausea
headache
vertigo & dizziness
extreme fatigue (daytime, of course!)

Well, not that it matters, I'm just curious. I'm going to stay on this cocktail and reevaluate after 2 weeks. kind of a dramatic shift, huh?

I'm gonna take my vitamins today...
-Ll
