Please post any and all Geodon experiences here.

My story:
I began taking Geodon as I was weaned off Risperdal. I began taking 20mg in the morning. It was heavily sedating for me at this dosage. I would be fine for a few hours and then needed a several hour nap every day. I felt like a zombie. My doctor had me switch to take Geodon at night and I felt a million times better with no need for a nap.

My emotions were muted at first. That got better with time as I adjusted. I did not experience mania or psychosis, so in general it seemed to be effective.

I gained 8 lbs in 2 months when I first began taking Geodon. It is supposed to be weight friendly, but I kept my physical activity and eating the same and still gained. I am an active person. I tried being slightly more active and eating less calories. My weight kept creeping up. I finally began circuit training for 30 min every day alongside a reduced calorie intake. I was then able to lose the weight I gained. I am maintaining my weight using the same plan.

I will be weaning off Geodon starting next week. I will post updates as I go.
