Sometimes there are other meds that can make getting off of a med easier. Sometimes this is replacing the med with another med in the same class that is easier between getting from lowest dose to no dose. Sometimes, it's temporarily using something like a benzo to counteract the agitation and restlessness, but then of course you have to get off that too, but hopefully you would've had a short time on it and haven't gotten to the point that's a problem.

Ziprasidone has a short half life too, so that feeling as you've learned hits hard and fast, and in general is more agonizing than something with a long-half life which is why the first option is an option too if you go with an AP with a longer half life.

(Not an MD, just have been around the block and seen the charts)
