I quit taking Geodon three weeks ago this and have been super depressed on just the 200 Lamictal and 20 mg celexa. I stopped taking it because it made my stomach hurt and I had to eat with it.
I called Pdoc this am to ask if I should go back on geodon or he may call something in for the depression. I see him next week.
My question...does geodon help any with depression and anxiety?
Thanks guys!

Geodon is unique in that you must eat to have it absorbed by the body. Many medications cause nausea and stomach upset and you are advised to eat to ease the discomfort, but it is not that you MUST eat with them. With Geodon, you MUST eat when taking it.
How long did you take it for? Stomach upset can go away after a few weeks.
Geodon is not used for depression and anxiety in its primary indication.
