Geodon was terrible for me--it sedated me so much I feel asleep while driving! I was at work one day & a wave of exhaustion came over me & it was only 9:00 a.m. My co-workers could see it come over me & asked it I was ok. I had to get home fast & that's when I feel asleep while driving. Luckily, when my car went off the road there was gravel on the shoulder & the sound of the wheels hitting it woke me up.
I also had extreme dizziness. I broke my toe while trying to get back into bed when the room started to swirl--I hit my foot on the bed post. I was only one Geodon for 4 days & I said that was enough! I've heard of others doing well on it so everyone is different in regards to side effects, but I wish I had been warned of the possiblity of severe side effects like that. Now I'm on Abilify, Lamictal, Provigil, Concerta, Trazadone & Klonopin for bp 1. Good luck.--Suzy
