What Causes Agitation Post Geodon Intake?

I am presently taking Geodon at 120 mgs a day, 60mgs 2x a day. My doctor thinks I should take 140mgs, 60mgs in the morning and 80mgs in the evening. I do not feel any better than I did before and at times get very agitated, I don t feel that increasing my dosage will help. What do you recommend that I do?

Hello

To increase the dose of medicine or to decrease the dose of medicine it is all depends upon the clinical condition and finding what the doctor does is according to that only and if you feel not good with the change in dose then you can discuss about this but the recommended dose should not be changed prior to inform the physician it is advisable to discuss the issue with your doctor.
