Is there evidence of irreversible damage to the brain using geodon? The dose is 120 a day at night only. Cogentin is taken with it for side effects.

AskDocWeb: We found no evidence of irreversible brain damage with the use of Geodon, but that is not conclusive. You can read what we have collected about Geodon here.

Until few years ago it was believed the brain couldn't grow or regenerate much after its early stages of development, the so-called "critical period." Recent studies show that's not the case, the brain shows it has more growing capacity than was thought. The brain seems to grow and regenerate over and over again just like a plant does. This is called neural plasticity (in case you want to research this to learn more about it).

I've been on geodon as well. I was on depakote for a year, together with one of geodon, seroquel, abilify, and a couple of others. While I was on, my brain functioning deteriorated. My ability to think was decreased and everything was fuzzier. Even though I have been off of them for over a year, my brain functioning has not returned to normal level, in fact it has not improved at all, I'm still at the lower, fuzzier level I was at when I was taking them. By the way, I was forced to take these drugs by my parents (if you can believe that!), otherwise they wouldn't allow me to live in their house and I had no income to support myself. So my choice was to take these drugs (even though I knew and tried to explain to them that they were damaging my brain), or live on street. Not much of a choice BUT, looking back, I should have lived on the street. At least my brain wouldn't have become permanently damaged. If anyone knows of a remedy to undo damage by all of these drugs, PLEASE POST!
