Geodon and Sleep?!


Question: I just took my first Geodon 80mg and Topamax 25 mg.
How long will it take for me to get sleepy?
He took me off of lexapro and Ambien and put me on this. Does this sound better? I hope so.

Well...I have been on Geodon for anxiety and ended up having to ween myself off of it ...my physician did not tell me there was a dependency...that stuff basically puts you in acoma...its the deepest sleep i ever had...and make sure you have 8 hours to sleep because if you have to get up before the med is done ....youll have a VERY difficult time waking up enough to drive...as far as sleep goes IT WORKS...but i personally didn't like it...it's actually geared towards those who hear voices....but is used for different things...granted I didn't have a problem going to sleep before taking this...so I was irritated that without it I COULD NOT sleep....but if this is the reason your taking it...it may be good for you...it took about 45 min to get in my system ...it literally doped me up..lol...but I do hope it works well for you! Hope my feedback wasn't too negative..

You should know within a few hours how sleepy you'll be. Definitely don't go out!

A good website for info on psych meds is http://www.crazymeds.us There's info on Geodon and the button to the talk board is at the top left.

Better isnt the best way to say it. I have no idea what your diagnosis is, so I'm not going to comment on the change in meds. You're going to have to have a little more faith in your doctor and learn to talk to him when you have questions. I've been a medication nurse on a psych unit for 33 years and I wouldnt venture an opinion on what meds you take. Going to strangers is not a good idea.
