1st Geodon Update - Feeling Very good

I'm diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Have been on antidepressants for 40 yrs. 7 yrs ago was put on ziprasidone used off label for anxiety. This was done during an emotional crises and the onset of menopause. I have been afraid to change meds, as I learned after beginning to taper, the ziprasidone created a lot of fear in me. I began loosing my memory over a year ago and my daughter and I thought I had dementia. Once I got my MD to listen to me, he immediately dropped the zip. from 40mg to 20mg. I do NOT recommend a 50% drop as it caused me to have 13 days of severe insomnia, brain zaps and involuntary facial movement that caused two chipped teeth. Scary! I am now working with a psychiatrist to get off of the ziprasidone. We will address the antidepressant going forward. After about 6 weeks all withdrawal symptoms subsided. Now the compound pharmacy is working on making a liquid version so I can continue to taper.
