Geodon and fda

Its hard to say for sure what people will experience with any of these drugs, but its nice to hear from you all.

I am looking at whether geodon or lamictal is causing me these horride nightmares.

It seems both drugs can.

I started taking catapres, which is a blodd pressure med that has an off-label use to control nightmares which helped quite a bit...

but beware...missing a dose or two of caterpress will give you a rather bad day, as it suppresses adrenaline...which causes nightmares.....so imagine what happens when this suppression suddenly stops???? BAD.

i am tapering off geodon, i had no issue with it, but being seroquel is the only FDA approved anti-psychotic med to treat depression/aniexty....i will find out soon if the geodon was causing the nightmares or the lamictal. i will post later.

just know- for me..tappering off geodon is not going pleasant for me.

my doctor said the drug rep even mentioned it had a high side effect profile...

I had thought of hurting others. I had to bury my cooking knie's to eliminate the impulse to grab one. I had the same thought's flashing over & over & actually drew me over to the knive's. These images played so many time's in my mind & so quickly I felt normal approaching them. This drug is very scary in my mind!!! I have a loving family & to think the solution for depression(minor) could have ended several live's
I am happy to see this website for opinions & experince's will not go unoticed. some may get ignored for they have a mental ilness & their opinion's are clouded, but I tell you what this crap is dangerious! So dangerious I sobered up to the fact I am not a killer & I not gonna start thinking like one. They need to do some more studies on this chemical. I don't know how the fda coud of approved this crap for anything.

Thanks for the opportunity to share my awfull & almost deadly experince. Oh, just so you know this was after about 5 day's of treatment.
