So I finally got a repsonse from my doctor: GEODON

Posted by JerryPharmStudent on May 3, 2007, at 4:10:28

Well, actually through his nurse. And this is the reponse I got

" He wants you to stay on Geodon until you see him next in June and only take 80mg"

I called back FURIOUS

"You don't understand - this medication made me CRAZY and SUCIDAL! I should NOT have to bear the horiffic side ffects of this rstlessnes and I WILL NOT take Geodon any longer. In fact I never even went up to the 80mg 2x daily dose because the Akathaisa was so horrific. IF the doctor cannot figuoure out something else to try - liek Abilify - then that is ridiculous because there MUST be something. I WILL NOT suffer for this and shouldn't be expected too!!! I would like a call back IMMEDIATELY!"

Man I was furious. So I got a call back and guess what? The only thing he could come up with was to increase my BuSpar dose from 15mg 2.x daily to 30mg 2x daily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hung up simply digusted. But I have no other doctor to go to. I live in a small town with ONE pdoc. I have no insurance. This guy is an idiot and I'm furious.

I thikn a trycyclic would work wonders for me - as they actually have helpedme in the past. BUT NOOOOOOO. My Pdoc is stupid and thinsk everyone should be on Risperdal, Geodon or Effexor - and those are the only meds that work.

OMG - I am so mad. It is NOT FAIR that my life be put into a man's hands liek this who I can only see every 8 weeks and cannot talk to directly- only to his nurse who is dumb as a stump.

BuSpar is actually related to antipsychotics in that it hits 5HT2 and D2 receptors. EPS is a common side effect. And studies show it not to be that much use especially in TRD.

So what to do? I'm SO SICK OF THIS. At least by stopping the devil's Drug REMERON I have lost 7 pounds.

Give me a prescription pad and let me write my own please - I know SO much more than this doctor. DISGUSTING.

Sorry for the long rant but I am SOOOO FURIOUS.

Thanks
Jerry
