I take a cocktail of meds but recently started having akasthesia in the middle of the night. Last night I woke up sweating at 4 am and then had horrible akasthesia for the next three hours. It was unbearable. It's become clear that it's my Geodon causing it. I'm in the process of titrating onto a new antidepressant for sleep and depression so I'm not feeling too well overall. Anyways, my doctor says I should stick with the Geodon and see if the akasthesia stops. I've had it five times in the past two weeks and I can't bear to think about going through it again. What would you do if you got this intolerable side effect and your doctor didn't advise you to wean off of the medication? I'm feeling pretty upset about it.
