Geodon isn't primarily a mood disorder, especially unipolar depression, medication. Its better than Haldol for schizophrenia, but thats about as far as I'd go with it...

Obviously, you can and should do what you want, what you think will work best but...the risks are there. Geodon is fairly weight neutral, but you do have to consider tardive dyskinesia, tardive dementia, tardive akathisia, and the neuroleptic induced dysphoria and Neuroleptic-induced deficit syndrome (NIDS).

My advice would be to ditch the geodon now, early on, before you create any problems and before withdrawal could lead to a discontinuation syndrome.

Good luck.
