GEODON
ADDICTION / DEPENDENCE
HALF LIFE AND METABOLISM
The biological half life of a substance is the time it takes for a drug to lose half of its pharmacologic activity. This is significant because it affects how soon withdrawal symptoms may appear.
The half life of Geodon is between two to five hours.

TREATMENT
Withdrawal from Geodon should only be done under the care of a health practitioner. The safest way is to withdraw at an inpatient medical detox facility. At an inpatient medical detox facility with a protocol that includes hydration, vitamins and supplements, most patients can safely stop taking Geodon in about seven days. Patients can withdraw from Geodon on an outpatient basis but it will normally take at least four weeks.
