I have been feeling really sad and really anxious and I didn't know why. Plus i had lost 6 lbs. Then last night as I was taking my medicine out of my monthly dispenser I realized there was no Geodon. I looked in the next few holes and there was no Geodon either. I counted 16 days I hadn't had my Geodon. Could that possibly explain my mood change? I hadn't been sleeping well at all either.

Be that as it may, the Geodon was forgotten. I can understand how things like that happen. Yes, I think your symptoms could be caused by the lack of the med. But I also think you need to talk to your prescriber (I assume a psychiatrist) about it--and get back on track. Okay?

She said she had a pill sorter/dispenser, so she probably forgot to grab the bottle when she was refilling it. Someone could would probably just think that their mood/emotions changed or their medication isn't working as well instead of automatically thinking that they forgot it since it's such a routine. One day my allergies/asthma was acting up and I was trying to figure out if I had been around anything that could have caused them to, so I went to go get my emergency meds to take and realized I hadn't taken my daily ones for a couple days. When it becomes a routine, the possibility of forgetting it is not usually the first thing that comes to mind.

I take many other medications. There are probably 10 pills I take every night. I didn't notice the Geodon wasn't in there.
Thanks for this!

I have so many pills, they don't even fit into the biggest daily pill dispenser! I have resorted to actually counting the pills before I take them, to make sure something hasn't been left out, such as I need to make sure I have ten pills in the morning.

I guess we would win a prize for pill consumption, Eggmelia68!

I was on track asking what the reason , and now the poster has told me . it was a innocent mistake , it may have not been that's why I asked , you don't get answers if you don't ask.I don't see the problem ,Isnt that a question a doc would have asked , im no doc I no but give me a break.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
