I have not slept well since decreasing the geodon and adding abilify.
It was/is a quick transition, no real taper over 5 days. I was taking a total of 160 mg of geodon the 80 then 40 for 3 days and none. mean while taking 10mg of abilify for 3 days then 20mg for a regular dose.
This seems rather quick, I did not question my pdoc about this.
I have not slept well the past 3 nights.
am very tired right now, will go to bed shortly.
I am feeling a little nauseated and have a slight headache.
I have not googled geodon with drawl.
I wonder more about the abilify.
Some have said it is activating for them and they take it in the morning for that reason. I am taking mine at night like ordered. I called the pharmacist about that and she said there is a potential side effect of blurred vision and dizziness and sedation that is why they recommend taking it at night. Others have said it made them manic.
That is not very reassuring. I will call into my pdoc office on monday morning. the other night I took an extra 1mg of klonipin thinking that would put me to sleep.
nope.
She wants to start seroquel to sleep. My guess is that she will order that on monday.
