I thought I would add my experience with ziprasidone (Geodon) here too. I have been taking it for a month at 40mg a day. This really helped the voices I was hearing. But, recently (about three days ago) I upped the dosage to 160mg a day at bedtime also, because very mild, infrequent voices are still present. I find that I am a little drowsy in the morning but it quickly goes away for me. I also have mild restless legs more so than at 40mg a day, but I am not taking anything to treat it. Compared with Zyprexa, it has not caused me any weight gain! Alright!!! Also, Zyprexa made me more tired and more depressed. I have more energy during the day with ziprasidone, probably because of the mild restlessness. Also, I have the same sexual dysfunction as Zyprexa; actually ziprasidone is a little worse (difficult to climax, ejaculate). As for Seroquel, it never really worked for me.
Also, I bought from Costco, without insurance, for $226.89 for #60 of 80mg of Geodon. I guess I should ask for #100.
best wishes
