I attribute this breakdown to a stressful job that I hate and want desperately to be away from, the death of my mother at a point when nobody truely close like that to me has died, the possibility of my aunt, who is basically my mother now, could die in surgery, nightmares, coming home to my empty house without anyone around and really grasping the meaning of being truely alone for a few hours, and who knows what else, I'm no doctor. I'm the most undermedicated I've been since I'm 13 years old, and five months without an anxiety attack is a small record for me. Right now, I'm just trying to take it one step at a time, and step number one before anything else is catching up on sleep. Goodnight my friend.

I am not a doctor or an expert in these matters, but from your symptoms it seems like 160 of Geodon at night might be high for a one time dose, I would think that it would be split with 80 in the morning around 7:00 am and 80 in the after noon about 2:00 pm. that would give you a steady dose of medicine during the day.
Of course changing or reducing a dosage is not easy it takes medical support from people who know the right way to make changes or wean you off the medication.
