In reply to Geodon + Risperdal Users - PLEASE HELP, posted by Michael Bell on August 13, 2008, at 11:39:00
i'll respond but i'm sorry i'm not much help.
risperdal did absolutely nothing for me.and i was only recently on geodon.
i thought it was working for me at 80mg (and it may have been? or it was left over from zyprexa that i know works) but then pdoc upped to 160 and i became psychotically depressed, i realized it was probably the meds so after a week of h@ll and not being able to get ahold of pdoc i took myself back down to 80. less psychosis but still majorly depressed.
so pdoc took me off completely (withdrawls of chills hotflashes headaches, nausea and anxiety). and then i recently went back to zyprexa just because i was in danger and we know that zyprexa works, even though it is a weight gainer and major sleeper for me.so i guess what i'm saying is we are all different and respond differently.
i guess my only advice would be to be cautious of going up too high on Geodon. maybe stick with 40 or 80 (i think 80mg is the typical).and as far as hearsay goes i think i've heard more people say they found help with risperdal than with Geodon. at least more people reported being on it. not sure if it worked for them or not.
sorry not much help.
but i at least wanted to respond.
FWIW
and i am very interested in your trial of Oxytocin...i know that i was perfectly fine when i was pregnant and nursing and wondering if it has to do with prolactin (and dopamine) and was just thinking about who here was trying either L-DOPA or Oxytocin trials.yes Very interested in this. please let me know.
