Cindy,

You could be getting a synergistic reaction between the Geodon and the Librium. Both are sedatives (one a DA-antagonist, the other a GABA-agonist). Have you tried low-dose Neurontin for anxiety (100mg 4x daily)? Do you have more trouble with ruminating than with any other symptom? I am super med-sensitive as well. I was taking Librium with Thorazine (years ago), and I had to be careful about dose timing, etc., or it would really set me down in a hurry! Didn't realize you were on Geodon, too. Tell your doc.

hope this helps,
take care,

Mitch
