Of all the many, many psych meds I've been on Geodon is by far the strangest one for me. If I take it in the morning I get very tired and have to take a nap mid-day. Absolutely cannot keep my eyes open. Take it at night and I'm energized, hypo-manic at times, and cannot fall asleep. Aside from these side-effects, Geodon is helpful...and that's what is so frustrating. It's stabilizing (mood). I'm beside myself with aggravating over this medication. I did speak with my p-doc; she basically left it up to me as to what to do with the Geodon. After another night of not being able to fall asleep, after 4 or 5 weeks of this, I'm thinking of giving up on the Geodon. Grrrr

I'm also wondering if part of the problem I'm having is from withdrawal from Seroquel. I've been on a moderate dose of Seroquel for a couple of years and while I haven't been extremely impressed with it, it does provide excellent sleep.

Ugh. I dunno. Anyone have any experience with Geodon, with coming off Seroquel? Anyone use a low dose of Geodon AND a low dose of Seroquel (for sleep)?
