The symptoms have all cleared. I'm feeling emotionally stable. I can actually say that I'm LESS irritable now than I was before.

The extreme fatigue would make me agitated and irritable. Which is the exact opposite of what APs are supposed to do!?

Also, when on Geodon I'd be VERY grumpy in the morning. Mostly due to the fact that my last dose was so long ago that I was withdrawing by morning. Which made me anxious and moody. Now I wake up feeling okay.

NOTE:

I'm not suggesting geodon is a terrible med without its uses, and I'm certainly not encouraging people to stop taking it or APs in general. Geodon fulfilled its purpose excellently when I first started taking it. It just became less effective over time.

I've also made considerable improvements with the use of DBT and, more specifically, mindfulness.

I am still on a mood stabiliser and an antidepressant (Lamotrigine and Bupropion). So I'm by no means ditching all meds because I'm going through a phase where I think I'm better. Meds will always be a part of my life.
