Re: geodon side effects?
The doctor should not have stopped geodon adruptly. Neuroleptic must slowly be taken away with a withdrawelplan, otherwise the patiant will get reboundsymptoms like a medical inflicted psycosis. The doctors know how to give medicins, but they forget that the body gets used to the drugs after a short period, and the body must get used to reduction of drugs. When drug is taken awy to quick, the sistem is unstable, and the hormons run wild. The problems one had before medication will return ten times stronger when adruptly stopping medication.
Abilify can also have bad side-effects. Have you considered a therpeutic program like art-therapy, cognitive therapy, gestalt-therapy and so one.
You can`t expect anything from the life, because life is just living. Say instead: "What can I offer life?", and it will unfold with all the possibilitis life can provide.
