I tried dropping my Geodon and Trintellix because I was just so depressed and desperate. AND my psychiatrist was on vacation for a month so I was on my own.
Well, I saw my psychiatrist last week and she not only had me start my Geodon and Trintellix again but she increased my Geodon. I am now feeling a lot more HUMAN and have actually started showering and brushing my teeth again. So the message here is to take your meds and call your shrink even if she's on vacation....because the doctor knows more than you do about things when you're buried (I'm buried) in depression. |

I am glad you are feeling better.
Yes, if stuff goes bad, and the pdoc is on vacation, depending on the time and day (weekend/holiday, etc.) and urgency, I either call the cell phone he checks every couple of hours for voicemails or leave an urgent message with the staff telling them when the pdoc checks his messages to have him call me; I need to speak with him & it cannot wait.

I'm glad you're feeling better, too. I know nothing about Trintellix, but can say that stopping Geodon cold turkey could possibly not only worsen mood symptoms or spark mania, but depending on the dose you were on and length of time on Geodon, that could bring on super nasty withdrawal. Geodon was very difficult for me to get off of, even with slow tapering off.

I can’t even imagine quitting Geodon...I can’t sleep without it. I’m glad you’re ok and are getting back on track.
