I'm only on a tiny dose of Geodon, but it seems to have pulled together the rest of my mind and my underlying mood has been very stable for the past couple of months. I haven't gained weight, my blood sugar levels haven't gone up, nor do I have food cravings like I did on Zyprexa. It's been a good drug for me, if a LOT expensive (the generic version costs me $165 per 30 day supply). I think it's well worth trying.
