Hi. I have been on Geodon for over 2 years and it has been great at keeping my manic and mixed episodes in check. I started out by taking all at night and was a little tired in the morning, however, that wore off after a few months. I found that the best time to take it for me is around 8:30 pm. However, I have since gone to taking half the dose in the am and half at 8:30 pm, per a recommendation from my doctor. This has worked out well for me. I think Geodon actually has some mild anti-depressant effects also for me. Lost weight on it as well - a really good drug.
Let us know how it goes with splitting the dose. Hopefully you will adjust to taking a lower dose in the morning and then again in the evening. It worked for me.
