I'm one of the relative few who appreciates Geodon, even if it is more expensive than some of the other APs. It's weight-neutral (in fact I've lost weight on it) and doesn't screw up my blood sugars like Zyprexa did. I'm only taking a baby dose, which was recently increased during a mixed-manic episode and tamped everything down within a week. It's not effective for everyone, but I'm certainly finding it useful.
