I can relate. I was on loxapine for so long and I was happy on it but my pdoc started to worry about the extrapyramidal side effect with it being a 1st Gen AP. I didn't want to switch to Geodon but I did reluctantly and I actually kind of regret it. I was scared of getting extrapyramidal side effects but I really didn't want to switch either.
The Geodon doesn't work as good and I don't really like it very much. If it weren't for the side effects I would go back on the loxapine today. As for switching pdocs, mine are like a revolving door. They keep leaving and going somewhere else. I have kind of gotten used to it now.
