I HATE geodon!!!
I can't say anything good about it.
I was on 160mg that I took at bedtime. It made me a zombie and I could not talk to people because I was never thinking of anything. Plus for the first time in my life I developed insomnia while on it! that is pure h3ll. It also kills your memory. You can forget what you told people a day after you said and end up saying something different and they think you lied. I also had this weird problem when walking that happened out of the blue where my foot wouldn't take a step without my knee bending at a weird angle and getting increasingly lower to the ground. It made it impossible to walk. It was scary and dangerous because it could happen anywhere in the middle of the road and I would have an impossible time trying to get to the other side of the road in time.
I highly advise you to read the side effects of this drug and think seriously if you want to stay on it. In my opinion anything else is better then this drug. Even olanzapine with it's weight issues is far better than geodon.
IT's a new drug without much research so by taking it you are like a lab rat for the doctors to test the drug on and see if it really works. Just my opinion.
good luck.
