If so, I have some questions for you!

First I was wondering if anyone has ever lost weight while taking Geodon. I was told it's weight neutral, but I've read numerous reports online of people losing weight while on it. (Which will be a welcome side effect, considering my last AP made me gain 15lbs).

Second, I was wondering what you do about taking it with meals? It makes me SUPER sleepy (again, a welcome side effect because I often have trouble falling asleep), so I take it about an hour before I go to bed, (between 12am-2am). And because I am trying to lose weight, I don't want to have to eat a big meal at this time, although I'm supposed to take it with a meal.

I asked my pdoc about taking it with say a granola bar and he said that wouldn't be enough... that it needs to be AT LEAST be 200 calories. I'm wondering what happens if I take it without food, and what happens if I take it with food, but only 100 calories or so.

Also any tips or advice you can give me about how the medicine affected you would be great. I know everyone's body responds differently but I'm curious how other people have liked it. I'm just switched from Saphris to Geodon last night. Thanks for your input!
