In reply to Abilify compared to Geodon and Solian, posted by efishy on October 28, 2009, at 7:53:44
Hi,
I can share my very PERSONAL experience with Geodon. I have tried abilify for a short time and also taken Geodon for nearly 2 years.I am aware about what the literature says about Geodon (which incidentally is my favorite drug) but I had my own experiences on it.
Geodon DID actually cause weight gain for me. A significant amount.
It was really sedating. A few hours after taking it, I would become comatose so I took it all at night. I could not wake up in the morning without 200mg Provigil.Abilify, I took in the day with no problem (and no stimulants!) I didn't take it for long enough to find out about the weight issue, though. But it had little effect on me so I gave it up.
Anyway this is totally my personal experience. We all have different chemistries so it may cause no weight gain or sedation for you.Good luck
