Ammity Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 k hi. i've been at 1mg Risperdal since the 20th of December. I saw my doc today and she wants to discontinue the Risperdal... without tapering down... and just add on 20mg 2x.day of Geodon. Is the Geodon addition going to stop a withdrawl from Risperdal? I ask because I once tried going to 0.5 from 2.0mgs of Risperdal and I literally could NOT stop crying for a whole day. I'm scared and thinking about just stepping down to 0.5mgs of Risperdal for a week before stopping it altogether... what do u think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resonance Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Did you talk with her about your previous problems going off risperdal? I would consider calling her if she didn't know to take that into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bxt227us Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well, I guess you're off by now. Why did you go off and did you go cold? I was gonna say it should always be fine to wean down if the drug isn't making you dangerously ill. Either you're too bummed from Risp withdrawal to write or your mind caught fire from geodon? Hopefully neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammity Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 I didn't write because I just had forgotten to come on crazyboards. I took the 20mg Geodon along with 0.5 Risperdal for one night. Then didnt take any more Risperdal. I had a stint of 10 good days after that. Now its going back downhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
