HELP I'm Unstable! Trazodone or Geodon is Doing it

Posted by BabyBunny on June 4, 2007, at 13:35:00

Help! Oh gosh please someone, anyone out there please respond. I have Bipolar I Mixed with Rapid Cycling and one of my new meds is destabilizing me! I believe it's the Trazodone and here's why...

For the past 2-3 days I have been having symptoms of vertigo (dizziness/motion sickness) starting a little bit after getting out of bed.

Well I was thinking maybe I was having withdrawal type symptoms because I'm only taking it once a day. 50mg at bedtime. And I know it has a short half-life and am EXTREMELY sensitive to medications and their side effects.

So a couple of hours ago I took 1/2 the pill (25mg) and guess what? The vertigo feeling practically diminished! BUT all of the sudden i started feeling really unstable: anxious, crying, restless, out of control, unable to think or concentrate, just crazy really... just like when I have a mixed episode.

I've been feeling this way on and off the past 2-3 days. Just this time it happened after taking ONLY the Trazodone. I take the Geodon at night before sleep.

Also this is my 1st try with Trazodone and I've only been on it since last Wednesday. I have taken Geodon before but it never gave me vertigo. But I do have to take it at night with something sedating as sometimes it makes me antsy and other times lazy. I'm a wild card. Never know how I'm gonna react.

So please anyone! Please share any advice or even better experiences you may have as I really need it!

Thank you so much!!!
