I forgot to take my Geodon last night at bedtime and boy oh boy have I paid for it... I practically am in DTs (delirum tremens) from the lack of the drug in my system.

The worst thing is that I know this happens and yet when I forget to take the pill I just shake and shake and freeze until I remember I forgot... if that makes sense to any of you.

Anyone else deal with this?

It does make sense. And it's scary. Wow, just a few hours.
I hope you're feeling better now. Thank you for sharing.

I once forgot to take all my nighttime meds, which included both Geodon and Zyprexa. The next day I experienced the entire bipolar spectrum in a single day! It was truly awful...I'll never do it again if I can help it.

when I was taking geodon I used a 7 day am pm pill keeper just for that reason ... I used to miss and sometimes take twice as much ... I hated geodon ... I think my pdoc is going to put me back on it ...
