> You folks, do you want to enlight me please on Geodon?Hi,
It's *definitely* calming at higher doses. With Geodon the lower you go, the more 'activating' it gets. 40mg almost made me high- I couldn't sit still. Increasing the dose totally changes that. At the dose you are aiming at its very 'soothing' without turning you into a zombie.
I wish you luck with it.
Its a great drug- I was on it for 2 years.
