I take Geodon as well. I like it because it's weight-neutral and I actually lost weight on it, at least until I went back on Zyprexa and regained some of that weight. You have to eat something fatty with the Geodon though; otherwise your body doesn't absorb it as well. I take mine with a spoonful of peanut butter, which is fatty but not ridiculous as far as calories go.
