My psychiatrist told me geodon didn't cause weight gain. However according to Pfizer's own prescribing information, it does. When she prescribed me 240mg a day of geodon, I questioned the high dose. She told me that it was a pretty standard dose now. But, again, Pfizer's prescribing information states "The safety of doses above 100mg BID [twice a day] has not been systematically evaluated in clinical trials.". Furthermore, when I complained about withdrawals from geodon when I'd miss a dose, she told me Geodon has no withdrawals. She told me that's how I am normally without Geodon. However from my own experience and the experiences of many many others I have now read about online, I know that is complete bullshit. Geodon has severe withdrawals. Here are enough horror stories to make your head spin. And that's only on small message board people are talking in. If I hadn't bought what my psychiatrist was saying, I would have been off of it a long time before I finally quit. I was truly afraid that the withdrawals were just my normal state of being. Furthermore, she insisted that I was wrong about 60mg of Celexa being a "high dose", she insisted that it was a small dose. Low and behold the prescribing information for Celexa not only lists the maximum dose as 60mg, but goes on to state "Although certain patients may require a dose of 60mg/day, the only study pertinent to dose response for effectiveness did not demonstrate an advantage for the 60mg/day dose over the 40mg/day dose; doses above 40mg are therefore not ordinarily recommended". Either my psychiatrist is a liar or an idiot. Either way I have no inclination to see her again. She can shove her meds up her ass.
