[quote=Berries;1183100]Is anyone on or has anyone been on Geodon?

Was it helpful?
Geodon was very helpful
Was it sedating?
it helped me to sleep through the night
Did you lose weight?

Did you gain weight?
yes, 30 lbs the first time

I was on geodon back in my 20s and received great benefits with only one side effect, weight gain. I had stop taking it for awhile because my husband lost his job and I couldn't afford full price of over $300 at that time. Well after years of being off it and on another medication I decided to try it again since the cost went down. I am greatly saddened by the turn of events. I can no longer tolerate geodon. I experienced jaw clenching so bad my face is swollen and my poor teach hurt from the pressure. I am back on seroquel xr hoping the clenching will stop but missing my sleep. Since stopping it I have gone back to waking up at 3am every night and I take sleeping pills to try and keep that under control with little results.
