Geodon has proven very effective for me, and even the "flattening" effect wasn't too bothersome and a relief from out-of-control mania; however, my pdoc and I have agreed that, for the time being, because of some symptoms of potentially irreversible EPS/dyskinesia, we'll use high-dose Geodon only for acute episodes instead of for ongoing maintenance. I'm taking the smallest possible doses of AP, AD, and mood stabilizer currently with close supervision so that titration can be instituted quickly if necessary.
