My taper is going well. This is my third full day with no meds, so we will see how it goes. I would normally take the Geodon every third day, so tonight is my first time skipping. I fgiure the true test to see how I do begins now. I'm still having lots of vivid and sometimes disturbing dreams, but that has been the only change. I have noticed that drinking a cup of sleepy time tea before bed has helped with the dreams some. I'm going to keep doing that. I have been trying to be restful and mindful while I continue this process.


I had to reschedule my therapy appointment for tomorrow because my oldest will still be out of school sick. I rescheduled for Friday though.


I was feeling a little low energy today and tired after all of my errands. I decided just now to suck it up and get in a workout anyway. I feel a little better now.


WC, I'm so sorry you are hurting! I know you are wise and know all of the tricks for self care, so I trust you're doing all you can on your end. Sending wishes of wellness your way!


Thanks so much for checking on me. You're a good friend!


Oh dear I hope you don’t get a full dose of being sick !!! I know it’s almost impossible to not catch when the little ones have it.

I’m glad that things are going so well tapering off Geodon !! Sounds like a very smooth transition. The dreams ? Yeah that’s sucky, yes tea might be a simple fix.

I’m so in awe of your ability to do a good work out daily ! I like WC have PsA and it makes exercise so difficult due to such physical pain. I know if I had access the a pool I would be able to handle more , but I can’t drive over 1.5 hours to find a pool.

Small town struggles lol

I’m so very happy for you
