Hi I'm Link! I'm only taking 40mgs of Geodon after taking 120mgs for 6 years,I also take 1200 mgs of lithium,600mgs of Depakote and 2mg of Klonopin for sleep.My only side effects that stand out to me are very bad dry mouth and sexual dysfunction which is mostly caused by the Geodon since I did not have these problems since before I started on it,but my doctor sees a mark improvement in me and feels confident that we can go off the Geodon soon.Hopefully the ED will go away since I am a married man.This is my biggest concern because I know the dry mouth will certainly lessen even though I do take a lot of lithium,but my doctor says he only went up on that to go down on the Depakote so I may switch from Depakote to Lamictal because the Depakote gives me harsh tremors in my extremities and then I will go down on the lithium on the amount I was on before.

Im a 20 year old male and about 6 months ago got injured and was forced to stop playing golf. This was very difficult and it gave me pretty bad anxiety, and i also had 2 panic attacks. All this occured all in about 2 weeks. I was put on 20mg paxil and about a day or two into it I started to see wonderful effects. I thought it was amazing. After about a month i was back to normal with minimal if any anxiety, had very minimal side-effects; drymouth,headaches. I just recently bumped it up to 40mg due to stress, worked good, but i did get a few new side-effects like trouble ejaculating, weakness, slight trembling, very vivid dreams(which is kinda neat just due to the fact that i would never remember my dreams and now i remember 2-4 a night) and a headache every once and a while. I think this drug is good and can be bad. Ive been reading a lot of troubling stories about other peoples experiences with getting off the drug, and quite frankly, its got me a little worried. But I plan to eventually got off this drug and get through the withdrawals and continue my life accordingly. I think if anyone is going through these problems and does get over it, it would be very helpful to all the people who are struggling, if you would write about your struggles and explain that this does happen and it does end. Show how everyone eventually gets over the hard times and gos on with the rest our their lives. Good luck to all, your not alone, and it will get better

I was given sulfameth for a sinus infection. I suffered drymouth, lack of appetite, anxiety,high fever, extreme thirst, aches, pains in arms, legs and neck, numbness in fingers, rushes in my head, dizziness,bad headaches, and finally, hives all over my body. It was horrible.

Had the standard nausea, light-headedness, exhaustion, drymouth, sleep disturbance, surnburned skin, but also I had a HUGE inexplicable fit of rage for no reason AT ALL with crying all day. Same day I noticed a tightness in my side (liver area). The sad moods come for the 2-3 hours after each dose. The rage comes mid-day.
Glad I have only 3 days left.
Good luck to you all!
Take something else if you can.
PS Milk thistle extract helps the tight discomfort and anger. Ginger tea helps this and soothes the nausea. Umeboshi pickled plums work magic on the rest of the symptoms.

Mild headache, drymouth, queasy stomach, feel dead tired but cant sleep. My wife thinks it has Viagra in it. Split a cord of wood and washed all three of our cars and that was just today. I am dreading the comedown.

I am 20 years old and have been taking seroquel for 4 years to sleep and calm my racing thoughts. The dry mouth and extreme thirst is there. Holy cow this stuff triggers my appetite better than the best weed I smoke. I only consume 25mgs a night and I feel the full effects for 12 hours. ZOMBIFIED. The stuff does work though. And I also thought I was crazy when my eyes starting hurting but now I realize this is the seroquel at work
