i hope you told your doctor you did not stop the geodon ( ziprasidone hcl) when you switched over to latuda ( lurasidone hcl). because both of these medications are in a class called "atypical antipsychotics " it means they both work in a similar fashion. when you take both of them at the same time it has an effect not unlike doubling the dosage. taking too much of these types of medications can cause serious side effects. i urge you to contact your doctor before you do any more tapering of the geodon dose. your healthcare provider needs this information in order to treat you appropriately if you experience any side effects from reducing the geodon dosage. if you're having trouble sleeping your healthcare provider should address that as a separate issue. you should not self-medicate your sleep issues by taking medications not prescribed for that purpose. wishing you well!
tapering geodon? . in june replaced my meds with latuda 40 mg. i still stuck on to geodon for sleep. but went from 40 mg to 20 mg in liquid form and have been tapering the liquid form gradually. today i take 11 mg geodon with 40 mg latuda. i want to be off of geodon by end of this year. . so i am consulting you to see if you have experience with such low dose of geodon. is it even having its effects on my sleep? . pease tell me anything because i want to decrease to 10 mg in 2 days.
