Geodon is an anti-psychotic. If I remember, you have bipolar type 2? It can help with your mood swings. I was on Geodon for a while. Before I started taking it, I did some research to see if it would have an anti-depressant effect. From what I read, it can. It can also help anti-depressants to work more effectively. Try it as a monotherapy for your depression and see how it goes. Of course talk to your doctor before hand.
I am a little surprised that you didn't know what Geodon does and *I blame your pdoc for that*. Before taking any med, it is important for your pdoc to explain to you what you are taking and why. You should add your own research on top of that if possible. Always know what you are taking and why, as well as possible side effects or drugs interactions. Your pharmacy can help you with possible drug interactions! :)
