I see my pdoc today and I'm slightly worried he's going to want to have me cut down on Geodon. I take 40 mg in the AM and 240 mg in the PM. I think he's going to want to cut down to 160 mg in the PM. He wants me to come completely off of it, since I take saphris as well. Last time in May when I tried to cut back on geodon i ended up being anxious all the time. I am in a better mood space lately, so maybe that won't be the case this time. I'm going to see if he'll prescribe me some 5 mg saphris because that helps better than klonopin for my anxiety.

Good luck with this. I take 160 mg of Geodon every night and it's been a godsend for me. I also use Klonopin for breakthrough mania or anxiety.

I have klonopin too, but I find the saphris works better. I also like the saphris for when I'm raging.

My pdoc didn't change my geodon. Also I don't see him till april now. He gave me 90 day prescriptions too. I have such a nice pdoc.
