i just started taking geoden 40mg and 80mg at night I feel my breathing is different is that a side
i just starated taking geoden 3 days ago 40mg in the morning and 60mg at night and I noticed it seems harder to breathe and my tongue feels swollen. My doctor told me the only side effect was being tired. He forgot to tell me zombie like state tired. Any crazy side effects from this med? Can I just stop taking this without more side effects? Do you think it could be too high of a dose and I would be okay with the 40mg twice daily? or does the side effects i'm having mean i might be allergic?
WHEN YOU ARE ON GEODON OR ABILIFY YOU ALSO NEED TO BE ON COGENTIN. IT IS A DRUG FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE. THE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE COGENTIN NEGATE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE GEODON OR ABILIFY. IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN IT.
THE ONE TIME I WAS ON GEODON I HAD ALL THE SIDE EFFECTS--ALL OF THEM. sO MY MEDICINE MAN TOOK ME OFF OF IT AND TRIED ABILIFY. IMMEDIATELY I WAS EXPERIENCING ALL THE SIDE AFFECTS (TONGUE MOVING AROUND INSIDE MY MOUTH, CLENCHED TEETH AND JAW--AWFUL) SO IMMEDIATELY MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED THE COGENTIN (BENZTROPINE). SIDE EFFECTS LEFT. ULTIMATELY WHEN I WENT OFF MEDS THEN BACK ON WE USED ABILIFY AND COGENTIN TOGETHER IMMEDIATELY AND ALL WENT WELL. CARLA LILLEY
