> I have a hard time with meds. Either i am really sensitive or they work the opposite. So i have anxiety and my doctor talked to me about geodon. I need feedback on this medication. If any one can help me that would be great. Thank you. christina
If you're sensitive to antipsychotics, you will probably experience akathisia with Geodon, it is up there with Abilify though not as strong as Risperdal. On the other hand, some people don't experience that. So its worth a trial. You should probably have some propranolol or an anticholinergic like Akineton or Artane on hand in case you do get this nasty "must move" feeling that isn't quite anxiety and is hard to describe unless you've experienced it before.
Zyprexa and Seroquel are much less strong in that direction though they still have their own side effects.
