Geodon knocked me out too. I was on 80 in the morning and 80 at night since Geodon is meant to be dosed twice daily. I was comatose all morning when I was working then. They had a little room for nursing mothers but no one currently nursing,so I'd sleep in there during my lunch break. It was torturous and I eventually ended up switching to Abilify (which I switched off due to weight gain).
Ended up losing that job too, due to my psychosis. They knew they couldn't fire me, so they made it impossible for me not to quit. I got pushed out.
I hope my pdoc extends my long term disability when I see her next Wednesday. IT currently expires December 31 but I am nowhere near ready to return to work, even for something like 12 hours a week. I am sure she will, but I think we all know too well about the stress of possibly losing our disability...
