I disclosed to one co-worker because I had just started on Geodon & a wave of incredible sleepiness overtook me. She could tell something was wrong just by looking at me. I almost fell off my chair. I told her I was on a new medication for bp & was having a bad side effect & needed to go home so could she cover for me? I was working behind the reservation desk at a tennis club. She has never mentioned it again. As a side note, I fell asleep while driving home & veered off the road onto the shoulder & the noise of my tires hitting the gravel on the shoulder woke me up. Needless to say, I got off Geodon real quick.

I have adjusted my work situation. Since I couldn't predict my moods very well, I gave up the part of my job of dealing with people & now only work on the computer part-time doing the tennis club's billing. I can go in when I want & I don't need to interface with people.

I'm on the right meds now & could take that part of my job back, but I have some "foggy" thinking now from the meds so I don't think I could do the math needed for figuring out how much the court fees would be.

When I dropped the front desk part of the job, I just told my boss that I was dropping that part of my job to be free to take care of my husband who had just found out he had two tumors that needed to be removed & we didn't know if they were cancer or not (true), and, thank goodness, both were benign.

So I've made my own accomidations without telling my boss about my bp.
