You're doing all you can. Hopefully you can feel good about that. Your energy is moving in a good direction!

Of the four you mentioned I've only ever taken Geodon. I was started at 20mg which is the lowest dose they make. Ibelieve most people take it twice a day in a range of 60-80mg. It is best taken with food. I remained stable, so I never went up past the one dose of 20mg. I am not sure what all symptoms it is indicated for, but I was on it to keep me stable after an episode of psychotic mixed mania.

I started taking it in the moring and it kicked my butt. I felt like a zombie at about 11am each day and I needed a nap to make it through. I think I remember maybe BirdDancer mentioning that the sedating effects are less at higher doses. I know she has experience with Geodon. Anyway, my doctor then switched it up to have me take it at night and I never had any problems with energy after that. My thoughts were clear and I could feel my emotions properly. No delusions or hallucinations.

I did experience weight gain. I started at a healthy weight and put on 8 lbs in two months even though my eating and activity levels were the same. I ended up droping my calorie intake and doing circuit training 5-6 times a week and I was able to get the weight back off. I did not have any other side effects.

I recently weaned off and did a slow taper and that was successful as well. I am experiencing very vivid and sometimes disturbing dreams, but that has been the only real issue. I've been off completely for two weeks now.

I wish I could be of more assistance. I'll be sending good vibes that you and your doctor get it right on the first try.
