I had ziprasidone with a grapefruit and it gave me the confusion that I had
with fish oil.
I get the confusion for no reason at all sometimes, a few times a month.
According to a website, ziprasidone's blood levels are increased by
grapefruit.
So, I have stopped eating grapefruit altogether.
It remains a mystery why I have the confusion sometimes..maybe some odd
thing in the food I eat.
For now, I have settled on having ziprasidone with carrots, apples or
pears. That works well..though a bit slow to enter the system, takes me 3-4
hrs to sleep after taking Ziprasidone.
If u can find a solution to get rid of the confusion that would be nice.
I have tried coffee, but with limited success.
supplementation with citalopram may help, but i put on weight with
citalopram.
Earlier I used to be able to sleep off the confusion, but last couple of
times, I could not sleep because my eyes would not shut completely..so, I
have to put up with the very uncomfortable confusion for 8-9 hours at which
point it goes away on its own.
confusion: i focus on something i see and cannot get my eyes off
easily..space/time confusion, things on left appear on right and vice
versa..sometimes have a hard time in understanding what is said, like on
tv..cannot understand or respond to things I see..they are not registered in
my brain and it is very troubling..i want badly to get rid of the confusion,
but sometimes have to tolerate it for 8-9 hrs..
Thanks..
