I take Geodon and it has been one of few that I could tolerate. Abilify caused me to be manic with uncontrollable anger and appetite. Zyprexa Zydis caused me to just lie on a couch with an increased appetite and I gained like 20 pounds in the month I was on it, munching on chips and granola bars in-between sleeping on the couch. Geodon causes no sedation for me, thought two hours after taking it I am more relaxed but still require sleeping pills to put me to sleep because I am an anxious person. I don't even have to take Cogentin and have never had problems with tardive dyskensia.

Geodon makes me fix small meals for myself with no snacking at all and my cholesteral levels were fine being on it for more than a year. I take Risperdal in combimation with it but am switching that to Invega, but I have been doing remarkably well, except that I had a bit of anxiety and now take Klonopin when I wake up to lower my anxiety and akithisia. Right now I am going really well and with Geodon I feel fine except that I always wish I could be drug free and feel like I did when I was younger. Overall Geodon is my drug of choice and when first taking it, it was like a hit of marijuana but it kindof fades with repeated use and leaves you a little bit icky feeling but stable for me, and stable is more important. Zyprexa and Abilify were bad drugs for me and did not interact well with me, and I gained weight on them, so I am glad I am back to normal. I am overweight but not obese according to BMI. I have actually lost weight after reswitching to Geodon.

If it works then that's great but if you have the side affects the other people have mentioned I would look for a different drug.
