In reply to maybe akathisia?, posted by med_empowered on September 13, 2007, at 8:25:29
Falstaff, I agree that lowering the dose might be a good idea. Please call your pdoc too and tell him/her what your side effects are. I believe Geodon is fairly short acting.
I am presently on 20mg of geodon, which works great for me but I cannot go any higher without problems. But as soon as I go down the side effects disappear. (same as yours). So I take other meds in low doses to try and get the best results without the side effects.
Think positive thoughts, you will have a wonderful vacation with your hubbie! And your restlessnes
> It could be akathisia, a sense of inner restleessness. Dose reduction might fix that. Even w/o akathisia, antipsychotics can raise your overall level of tension and anxiety...if you're using the Geodon as a treatment for anxiety, you might want to try something else, or maybe a new doctor.
