"Imahotep, I'm shocked and sickened at the fact that a physician would prescribe Geodon for your RSD. Based on this alone, I'm convinced she/he is not just incompetent but downright dangerous. The risks of taking Geodon are far to severe to justify prescribing it in the hope it might help RSD."

Frankly I was trying to damn the drug with faint praise. I changed doctors since the one that prescribed this. Most of what was being given me were psychotropic drugs and I've never had any beneficial effect from these except for depakote. Most of them just give me intolerable side-effects with no affect on me except to supress specific types of thinking. Some people are apparently helped by such drugs but, for me, only the lexapro came close.

I stand corrected on saying geodon was commonly used for RSD patients. I apologize for making the statement and was simply repeating what the doctor had told me. Since I have no medical training I try to choose my words very carefully and try not to encourage people to not follow medical advice.

One of the better doctors I've had told me early on to pick and choose drugs very carefully. If you miss a dose and there's no change, consider discontinuing it. Always try to reduce dosages to see if they still work. He went on to say that this disease tends to result in many doctors and many prescriptions. Be very careful about which you use; the best chance if you've had this too long for a cure is to find the right group of medications that work for you.

These are his words and I try to do this. I can't sugest to someone to ignore medical advice even where I think it's poor.

Vicc; Thanks for the information.
