I know you're all pretty sick of reading about this, but my side effect med wasn't taking the pain away but it was taking the edge off. Now I'm out and everyone is out. The drug company, the pharmacies, none...at all! No one has any idea when they will be in again. So here I lay, wanting my meds.
I'm just hoping the splitting of the geodon helps...not so far. __________________ Bipolar 1 Last edited by 99fairies; Feb 13, 2018 at 12:45 PM.. |

I don't understand why the pharmacy can't keep it in stock if you order it every month.

Just found out that the drug company isn't producing anymore of my med for 12 months. I don't know what to do.

Geodon works well for me. I'm gonna cut my dose in half and see if it helps.

My pdoc said the only AP that helps dystonia is clozapine. I gained 50 pounds on that shiit. I finally lost those 50 pounds and I don't want to put it back on. But I dont want to go through this pain for an entire year, so I need to decide.

Could it be that the generic, procyclidine, is not available but the name brand Kemadrin is?

Our insurance will only cover generic. We don't have the money to pay out of pocket. I just called my pharmacist and he said they don't make Kemadrin anymore. This is very frustrating.

I looked up dystonia and diet and it said to stay away from most carbs...to lessen the inflammation.And fasting is good as well. So if I can stick to this diet hopefully I will notice a difference soon. I don't know what else to do. But I'm desperate, so it's worth a try.
It also said that fatigue and stress makes it worse. Which sucks cuz I stress out all the time. __________________ Bipolar 1 |
