In reply to Geodon anyone?, posted by allisonf on September 2, 2003, at 19:48:00

> Just started on 40 mgs/day of Geodon twice daily for a fairly treatment resistent bp2 condition. It seems like right after I take a dose, I am awake, alert, etc. (so much so that we switched my dosage schedule from bedtime to 7pm). But then after about 3 hours, I am wiped out. Not so much sleepy as feeling like my limbs are made of lead. Anyone had this experience...or any experience on Geodon for that matter? How long did it take for side effects to subside (if they ever did)? Has anyone had good luck with it calming those racing thoughts?

Hi Allison,
Geodon affected my heart immediately--in a really bad way.
I've successfully taken Zyprexa, Risperdal, & Seroquel (which I take currently). Zyprexa causes weight gain and Risperdal can cause lactation and other bad things. Seroquel definitely calms those thoughts.
