120 geodon

10 mg trazodone

it became too painful to take break. the breaks stopped causing mania. just intense irritability and anxiety.

Yeah thats the problem with bipolar, the fun highs don't come as often as observers might think. Its not just happy or sad like option A or B. 

Thats alot of Geodon, you really need that much?? You might be able to get away with a little less.

You need to journal and mood chart. Doctors like to push dosages that are too high. I don't get intimidated by my doctors anymore.. well I fired my last doctors for some bull shit.

I mean if you are getting weight gain, sedation or akathisia from that drop the dose a bit. Or mental dulling, or whatever undesirable mental effects meds can cause... so you lower the dose a bit, worst that happens is you just up it again.

ive had crazy weight gain but i also stopped working out daily cold turkey. it increased my appetite like crazy up until recently. the weight is beginning to come off slowly. 

i really dont want to mess with it because most of the time i feel great these days.
