Anyone have experience with Ziprasidone HCl 80mg Capsules for Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder?
I was recently prescribed Ziprasidone HCl 80mg Capsules to manage my symptoms of schizophrenia. I've been taking it for a couple of weeks now, and I'm curious to hear from others who have had experience with this medication. I've been taking it with food as prescribed, but I'm still struggling with some side effects like dizziness and drowsiness. I'd appreciate any advice or personal stories from others who have been on this medication. I'm also interested in hearing about how long it took for the medication to start working effectively for others. Did you notice a significant improvement in your symptoms? How did you handle the side effects? Thank you!
This discussion is so helpful! I've been considering Ziprasidone for my schizophrenia but was worried about side effects. It's great to hear that others have found it helpful. I'll definitely talk to my doctor about this.
I was prescribed Ziprasidone HCl 80mg Capsules for schizoaffective disorder. It helped with keeping my mood more stable, but I had a lot of weight gain. My doctor suggested switching up my diet and exercise routine which helped. It's been a rough ride, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
I had some crazy dizziness at the start, but it stabilized after a couple weeks. No more dizziness, but now my blood sugar seems to be a bit off. I've been keeping an eye on it and consulting with my doctor regularly. I've also been doing a lot of research on diabetes and mental health. It's scary stuff, but I feel like I'm taking better care of myself now!
I switched to ziprasidone from a different medication and I feel so much better! The side effects were rough at first, but they've subsided. Just make sure to talk to your doctor about any issues you have. They'll help you make the best decision.
I wish I knew about this medication sooner, but I'm glad I finally have it. My schizophrenic episodes are so much better. Just remember that if you notice any severe side effects, get to a doctor right away. The side effects can be scary but it's worth it.
