I am also very scared that the same thing will happen with Geodon - I will discontinue but the orgasms will not return. Tardive. How scary! What a horrible word!

I took Depakoke for a few years, no problems. No good results that I could tell, but I was going through a Divorce. Geodon made me angry, took it for one month,,,not enough time to fit into it s groove, but from what I ve read, you will most likely gain a lot of weight!!!!! But you will sleep better! HA.
Now Abilify will definity cause Tardive Disconesia. And sometimes its effects on your face or lip smacking , or tongue movements is permanent. I have had a Bells Palsey seven years ago when I was 45 that resulted in permanent paralisis on the left side of my face. So When I took Abilify for one month and my tongue swelled and I couldn t speak well, I cut it off immediately! It did lift my depression and made me happy however. Look into meds on your computer under Anti-Depressants, Bi-Polars Medications, or Seddatives. On Google. And read the reactions, interactions and side efffects. Not all side effects happen to all people. It s a shot in the dark. Take care,,,,just another Bi-Polar buddy with a multitude of other problems.
