I have schizoaffective disorder and am currently taking 300mg Effexor, 300mg Wellbutrin and am also taking
Geodon and Abilify as anti-psychotics. I had been up well beyond the maximum dose (200mg) of Geodon--I was taking
320mg of it daily, but when I found out that I was that much over the maximum dose, I dropped it down to 220mg/day.
I had been feeling okay on it at 320mg, but could tell that it still wasn't working perfectly. That is, I was still prone to
auditory hallucinations and paranoia. Needless to say that when I lowered the dose to 220mg, I started feeling worse and my doctor put
me on the 15mg of Abilify.
Btw, this really isn't a meds post, just wanted to provide some details.
Yesterday I had a bad day, hallucinations and illusions--I key in on people's voices and then believe
that they are talking about me, and as my therapist says, I go from 0 to 60 in no time. Yesterday it was more
like 0 to 100. Given how I felt, I decided to increase my Geodon again so as to offset the hallucinations and paranoia.
Okay, now I'm starting to think that maybe this is a meds post--sorry, just feeling down and worried
about what are most likely unlikely things. That's what I was going to post about--feeling as though the worst
possible thing is going to happen--that's how I feel now. Anyone have any words of encouragement?
Feel free to redirect this if you think that it should be. Sorry for rambling.
