Geodon withdrawl

Question about ziprasidone hcl Geodone and suboxone?
Hello. Simply put. I’m an opiate addict two years sober on suboxone. I have bipolar no mania all depression which my mania seems like a good day if anything no hyper focused no energy excessive. If I can identify it as something, I say it hits me for a few hours where I’ll feel like I wanna do something drastic, either join the army and I’ll look up things about what field, credentials this and that, e-mail a worker blah blah, to going back to school, I’d rip my clothes up to make a new shirt design, cut my jeans into shorts… I go to therapy and since these episodes have happened now and again I thought perhaps medication could help my depression low motivation low energy anxiety stuff that’s keeping me from being my true self. It’s not so much the up up thoughts, that stops when I feel physical pain from writing a story of four pages, sewing my jeans for two hours, drawling for three hours.. stuff like this so no mania. The bipolar depression keeps me indoors not doing anything shut away from everyone in my room not going outside. It’s hard to push me to do anything. It’s caused me to not have good paychecks with work, not have a good employee relationship with my boss which causes me stress and eventually I’d drink then go to pills to help myself work better, opiates. I’ve heard that being sober for two years helps your brain get back to normal so I’m hoping my mind gets better with feeling but it’s not. It’s about two years and three months on suboxone and I don’t feel any different. I was on Effexor my year sober and it worked but not this time. I wanted to try something new so she suggested Geodon. I’m worried bc I went online to a few sites and got this notice about geodon and beup from suboxone causing bad reactions so I’m worried about it putting me in precipated withdrawls. Would this do that to me? Here’s the link I found https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/suboxone-with-ziprasidone-439-2040-2330-0.html#:~:text=Using%20buprenorphine%20together%20with%20ziprasidone,serious%20and%20potentially%20life%2Dthreatening.
Age 34 height 5ft6in female Non smoker but hangs around ex who smokes I’m an opiate addict two years sober , no alcohol or weed either, bipolar,anxiety, depression, low iron at times, I’m add, clinical hypothyroidism, I had a kidney reflux surgery at the age of 5. I’m 130 lbs. Current meds; I’m on suboxone 12 mg daily, I take vyvans for add daily I take a weekly vitamin d 50 000iu, once a week.. that’s it for meds currently.. But I’m prescribed geodone 20 mg which is ziprasidone hcl.. suboxone has beupenorphine and naloxone. But I’m aware naltrexone from my doctors mouth reacts badly with geodone which I know that’s vivitrol a monthly shot like suboxone only you can’t take suboxone and vivitrol together.

Personally I’m the other end of bipolar.I’ve experienced mostly the depressive ends bouts of low mood low motivation low energy sleeping roughly 12 hour nights and not having much energy. I have this emotional side I can’t control that I hate so much. I’m always blah, flat, dull and while I know some of it’s the suboxone use(12 mg for over two years now) I have always been like this before. I’ve used and abused opiates and alcohol which was the only time I’ve ever felt huge swirls of pleasure(minus the falling in love and finishing in the bedroom). I’ve had little bits of happiness when I talk to my kids, play around like a kid myself on a jungle gym, or even eating greasy food I had as a kid myself but nothing a huge amount.
Brings me to my next point. She my psyc doctor gave me Geodone. I’ve never heard of it and her first words were have you ever taken naltrexone, which I’ve recalled it being vivitrol the once monthly injection for opioid dependence. I said I recall a time inpatient years back like 7when they gave me the pill but I had suboxone still in my system from a taper 9days prior and it put me in precipated withdrawls and that was that, they had to give me two shots of morphine in the booty to kick it, but I’ve never been on that since, and she gave me this Geodone. I’m worried that because of the reaction to the vivitrol naloxone and the suboxone in my system then, that because I’m on suboxone now that Geodone will cause me to be in precipated withdrawl.
; I’m an oppiate addict on suboxone, bipolar 2 about to take geodon(a mood stabilizer and schitzophrenia med for bipolar aswell), add (on vyvans), hypothyroidism(on vit d weekly pills)… I think that’s it.
But I’m worried about Geodone having some sort of effect with the naloxone of the suboxone. Has anyone been on Geodone while taking suboxone?
Don’t want to throw opiate withdrawls ontop of it. Checked with the pharmacist over drug interactions which she didn’t pull up my name or what I was taking; I mentioned the convo with my shrink and naloxone naltrexone and opiate withdrawls, she printed a paper about heart conditions and Qt intervals and asked if I was on any heart meds or had any condition. She mentioned it was only level 2 or 3 which they don’t even focus or worry on bc it could just be the randomness of any patient, and or the other things the patient that was taking something that had a heart issue or it was genetic. I have no manic episodes naturally but I think I’d enjoy having some energy joking of course. But the depressive side sucks
TLDR; anyone who currently take suboxone get on Geodone? Any opiate withdrawl? Psyc doctor asked if I was on naltrexone which I believe is vivitrol I recall they have to be clear for two weeks before someone goes from subs to vivitrol due to the naltrexone. Subs have beup and naloxone; so I’m worried they would put me i. Precipated withdrawls.

been on geodon for many years. not totally sure how many maybe 8-10. cutting down for over 120mg to 80mg a dayy right now. anxiety depression, felling unsure of my actions all comming into play. trying to move on to seroquel because im told seroquel treats anxiety and geodon causes anxiety in some people. seroquep really helps me sleep im taking 25mg right now. hoping it lasts

To preface I have been on Sertraline, Tenex, and Geodon while getting the vaccine. I've also been experiencing post Withdrawl syndrome from getting off of Lamotrigine this past October.
The day I got the shot I felt initially somewhat okay, with some chest discomfort a bit after getting the shot. The following day slept for it's entirety because I had zero energy whatsoever. The next day I had unexplained anger and anxiety that manifested out of nowhere that was accompanied by shaking and tremors at night. These would persist for about a week and a half until I haven't felt them anymore. However, following this I noticed my motor control decline severely and my speech became impaired as well. Since that point I've noticed things have gotten worse and haven't improved whatsoever. I talked to my primary care physician and she said to wait a month to get the second vaccine dose and wait to see if I make any improvements. My mother wants me to get it on the 17th though or else I'll be kicked out of the house. I'm not sure what to do but I really don't want to get the second vaccine dose unless I'm certain that there was no damage or anything bad that was caused by getting it.

Just got put on 40mg of Geodon, had to switch meds due to Latuda making me start to possibly develop akathesia. Anyone have any success with this medication or bad side effects I should be aware about? Also going through Latuda withdrawl and it sucks like shit.

I told my new doctor I want side effect information and warnings on any med she attempts to put me on. She kind of mocked me for caring about that stuff since "why don't you care about that when you're doing [insert recreational drug here]? those hurt you way more, so why those and not these?", which was already both infuriating and kind if stupid, but more importantly, when she prescribed me a med, she only told me vaguely that it could "drop my blood sugar" if I eat poorly.......
Uh, yeah, turns out it has a HUGE risk of causing diabetes........ diabetes is literally my greatest fear next to cancer. I have an EXTREMELY poor diet and even told her that during the appointment, and she didn't even suggest I try anf fix it for the meds. I also now wish I'd told her I'm strictly against taking any meds that can cause weight gain/increased appitite, too, because apparently it's one of the worst for that.
But even worse than all of that...... is that apparently zyprexa also has extremely intense withdrawl symptoms, which very closely match the withdrawl symptoms of geodon. Coming off of geodon was one of the most traumatic experiences of my entire life, I will never forget that pure, undiluted agony. I never want to experience that again, ever.
I'm not going to take it, not even for the "trial" few weeks. Because even if it did help me in some way, and you could guarentee I won't develop diabetes, twitching and spasms, or gain weight, the longer I take it the more horrific the withdrawl will be when I finally try to get off it. No fucking way. Absolutely not.
I thought about lying about taking it, but apparently they do blood tests for this med. So hopefully they just find another med that doesn't have those side effects, ir the risk of horrific withdrawl, and I can either take that or fake taking that if i really have to.

Last time I was off it, I ended up getting crippling anxiety and ended up in the ER by ambulance because I had a panic attack and thought I was dying.
My insurance is going to change soon and i wont be able to afford it anymore.
Besides taking benzos what can I do to ease the withdrawl? I've been on it for 3 years. Want to go back to geodon to help me lose weight again.

Does anyone else experience extreme withdrawls when they miss a dose of geodon or lamictal? If I miss one dose I'm very physically ill and have major anxiety. I just need to see if someone relates

I cant afford my medication anymore and I am going to try to get my doctor to switch me. They want $240 for 30 day supply. Fuck health insurance and fuck the pharmaceutical companies btw.
Any withdrawl symptoms I should be made aware of? I'm trying to go back on geodon.

Hello, this is my first time posting here.
I've been taking geodon for about a month and its great, but recently I ran out. I'm in the process of trying to get more, but my psychs office isn't really doing anything and the next chance I have to see my psych is on Friday. I am now suffering from intense insomnia (I've been awake for 35 hours) and extreme withdrawal symptoms. In all, I feel like shit. I need help. Has anyone expierenced anything similar? How did you make it through? Thank you. Have a good day.

I need help with the withdrawal symptoms from my scripts. I am new to ap. I was on Risperidone for 2 weeks and it really helped but had bad side effects so the pdoc gave me Geodon. It helped until day five. Day five was a terrible, terrible day. I felt how people on meth look. I was agitated, had to move, everything was cold. Everything about my body was wrong: my limbs were too big, my breath too rapid, my thinking cycling back and forth. Paranoia was dialed up to the extreme. Did I step just too close to the precipice of "high-functioning" and not? Had I gone off the deep end? Was it going to be like this now? I went to urgent care because I was super scared. I came down from the trip while at the urgent care (I was there for around 2 hours). Overall, the bizarre state of mind lasted around 3 hours. I was exhausted afterwards, and after consulting with the resident pdoc, I decided to not take my nightly Geodon dose. The night was long and full of terrors.
I took my dose in the morning again, to see what would happen. BIG OLD NOPE. NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. The same agitation, irritation, paranoia from the day before. Lasted around the same time, too. The pdoc suggested I go back to my initial med, Risperidone. While I'm thankful for it, I can't bear to take it anymore. It makes me congested, beyond tired, constipated, break out, I gained 15 lbs in 2 weeks, and the brunt of it: it increased my prolactin levels to an undesirable level (I'm lactating... gross). I decided to not take anything until I get a new script. I'm on day three without meds. The first night I couldn't sleep until the sun came up. Even though I painted four arts with all the feels, it was still excruciating. Day two was a bit of a blur, but I somehow managed to surprise myself with a while lot of self-care: I showered and actually made a full breakfast and confusing corn dough pizza. I had a hard time falling asleep, and was plagued with disturbing thoughts and auditory hallucinations. It was a dreamless sleep. This morning has been rough, moody, and tired. It's my brother's birthday so my partner and I needed to work as a team to make him breakfast. I've been struggling to pull myself together enough to be in good spirits and not critical of everything that happens (especially since both of them are high). It's tough to cope right now but I'm getting through it.
Any suggestions to get me through this?

Hey everyone, I need advice. Please.
Just a very brief recap of the past (as brief as I can make it) - started with depression in high school when I was 13 and from 13-24 I was treated with:
Prozac Effexor Wellbutrin Cymbalta Lexapro
When I was 25 I was diagnosed with Bipolar after having a nervous breakdown due to a bad marriage, financial, and work issues. I was put on
Symbyax Lamictal Ativan
Then I went total manic and had to go for inpatient recovery. I was put on
Lithium Seroquel (later XR) Ativan Lamictal Wellbutrin XL
When I was 27 I became so fed up with the side effects (I went from 170lbs to 230 in 2 years from the seroquel) that I asked my psych to take me off everything but Wellbutrin XL. The withdrawl was horrific and I couldn't eat barely anything without throwing up.
I went to outpatient therapy for a month and a half and was placed on
Depakote Wellbutrin XL 450 Ativan (as needed)
It worked for almost a year and a half (that along with seeing my therapist I had been seeing since I was 22) but I lost my job and when I went on unemployment for 6 months I totally regressed. I began a new job two months ago but began having panic attacks and am going to outpatient therapy AGAIN.
I'm tired. Tired of fighting this. I have a wonderful family who is doing everything to help me. I never abused drugs and though I binge drank on alot of weekends with friends while in my 20's (fuckin stupid I know) I have been sober now for over a year. I have a fiance' who is amazing and I am causing her so much stress and we are so worried I am going to lose my job over this. I don't want to be put on disability because when I was with no job for 6 months it was some of the worst times in my life.
I start the program (2nd time) this week. They just tried me on Geodon but I puked hard on it and couldn't sleep for 36 hours.
What do I do? I'm so tired of fighting.
