Is Geodon Tablet The Right Medicine For Depressive Disorder And Bipolar Disorder?
HI. I am currently on Geodon for Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar 1. I see my Psych in the am but am just trying to do a little research beforehand. Can I switch to Nardil without the normal 2 week washout. I have checked each and every one of my other drugs in the drug-drug interactions, and they are all safe. Just curious before going into the meeting tomorrow. -Theresa
I went through your details. Please understand psychiatric medicines are prescribed according to the condition of the patient. Depressive disorder and bipolar disorders are having far fetching consequences and therefore psychiatrist usually take many things into considerations. They also employ differential diagnosis to confirm the diagnosis. Therefore, discussing the medicines and its effects on a patient may not be possible here. Generally, Geodon (ziprasidone) is an antipsychotic medication. It works by changing the effects of chemicals in the brain. Geodon is used to treat schizophrenia and the manic symptoms of bipolar disorder. Talk to your psychiatrist in detail about the research you conducted. Let him take decisions and please work with him for a perfect cure.
