What are some of the side effects of stopping Geodon? I am not stopping cold turkey but I do not want to take it anymore because of the side effects? Anyone out there know what I can expect?
Thanks in advance.

I went off of Geodon cold turkey about two months ago. I had insomnia 2 nights straight and had a few (very) mild hallucinations the first night (around 2 or 3am). I think it's different for everyone, though. You might not have too bad a time, especially if you're not going cold turkey.

Aahh, the night is calling, and it whispers to me softly,
"Come and play". Aahh, I am falling, and if I let myself go
I'm the only one to blame.

I'm safe, up high, nothing can touch me, but why do I feel
