When I as on Geodon (20mg), I had to take it @ 9pm with a Fiber One bar because taking any sooner would render too tired to stay up till 10pm (bedtime). Geodon didn't keep me asleep. I got up around 3 - 5 every morning and had morning akathisia. I didn't really like Geodon. Plus I had a rash, and I told the doctor for 3 weeks in a row to get me off this medication, before he finally did and when he did, you know what he said:
"the side effects tend to be reduced the higher the dose you go".

I really disliked that. It made me really feel bad for saying anything. I could never really confide in my psychiatrist (he was the one through the program I was going to.). I'm trying to get an outside psychiatrist, but its very difficult.

Anyways, that's my experience with Geodon.
