Glad to hear you're on Geodon, Jerry. I'm sure if you give it time, you'll figure out if it's right for you.
I take Abilify, and find it extremely helpful, even in smaller doses. I do use it in addition to Emsam, but I feel a distinct positive effect on my overall anxiety and vigilance level, and my desire for social contact. It''s definitely something you can keep on the back burner.
It's also good that your T knows more about the loneliness and feelings of isolation, especially with your family and their denial of how much you're suffering. Talking to someone about it is an important first step-- just establishing the trust to do it.
Maybe, as things evolve, you'll be able to go out and be around people, or do some social activities. I'm also rather isolated, but find that I feel much more capable of thinking about doing that, too, now.
And, maybe the energy from Geodon (if that's causing it) would actually good for you.
