A split dose of Geodon is recommended rather than 80 mg all together. The duration of action is 12 hours so splitting the dose is suggested. My doctor didn't tell me that either. And take it with food. 80 mg is huge... I was on 20 mg (took 10 mg/am, 10 mg/pm) to start so just go slowly. You can take 80 and 160 mg in one day but based on all the other med changes you have made, there are bound to be alot of withdrawl symptoms on top of the Geodon symptoms which can not be teased out from the other ones.
Watch out for severe muscle rigidity or a fever and if they occur, call your doctor immediately and go to the ER if things are really bad.
Wishing you some relief soon....Stargazer
