I was taking 40mg of geodon twice a day. The doctor is weaning me off. So, he said to stop taking my evening dose. Well, I did for two nights and couldn't sleep. I was really jumpy, leg spasms, couldn't sleep, hot and cold flashes, trembling,nausea. It was like having the flu really bad. I also had a couple brain zaps. I wish I never would have started geodon. It's awful.

I've been taking Geodon for about 9 months and am being weaned off too. I went from 3 40mg tablets down to two and now down to one. I have a little trouble sleeping too and get jittery before I take the single dose. I would say try taking the dose in the evening to help you sleep. And hang in there. I can't wait to get off of it too.

I just recently started taking geodon. About a week ago. I couldn't handle what it did to me. I am a single mom so it was totally a bad idea to put me on something like that. I will never take anything like that again. I pretty much quit cold turkey. Couldn't sleep at all the first night and vomiting all morning. I hate the drug. I wish I wouldn't have ever started taking it. The side effects are horrible and the withdrawal isn't any fun. I can't wait to be "normal" again. I hope this stuff gets out of my system too. I also have experienced extreme jaw clenching and dilated pupils throughout the day. The worst part is the vomiting and not sleeping and the flashes of hot and cold and the tremors. Woohoo to this hopefully being over soon
