I've been on geodon since 2010 except for a little time where I tried latuda that didn't work. I take 40 mg in the AM and 240 mg in the PM. Go up slowly on the med. The second time I tried the med in 2008? I had a seizure cause my pdoc rose the dose too high too fast. The FDA limit is 160 mg. You have to eat at least 350 calories when you take it for it to work. Also it'll make you tired probably. As far as weight, it's pretty weight neutral. I've been losing weight on it.
