Ehh, I dunno, I'm not liking this drug. We started it Sunday. Anyone have any experience with it?
The psychiatrist said when we start, at only 20 mg., it could stimulate Dylan. So, he said, if that happens, to increase the dose to 40 mg., that would calm him.
I didn't ask (and am kicking myself now) if this is like the Abilify, if I'll see results right away, or if it'll take a while. Anyone know?
Sunday, Monday, he took 20 mg. Then I boosted him to 40 mg. Tuesday night because he was so wound up. I am sure he's manic right now anyway ~ but the Geodon doesn't seem to be doing anything.
I guess I'll call him tomorrow, just wondering if anyone has familiarity with this drug. I seem to remember Vicki's daughter being on it, and then having hallucinations when they took her off, or maybe I'm looney.
Thanks.
