A member asked:
How would you taper off a patient who is taking 20mg of geodon a day. i have been on this medicine for 30 days and want to no longer take due to side effects?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
20 mg of geodon is the minimal dose so you can reduce the dose to 20 mg every other day for 4 days then 20 mg, twice a week then stop. You should notify your doctor about your plan. Take care.

Gradual dose reduction is advisable to avoid unwanted withdrawal symptoms. Please be advised, that this should be done under the supervision of a physician. They may recommend different approaches depending on the condition Geodon is being taken for.
