@~Christina, I think end of March, hopefully. That should only be the interior work, though. Exterior work will continue after we're in.

I don't recall Geodon really "pooping out" for me. Hopefully it won't for you either. I will say that it was most effective taken as the maker suggests (twice per day and with food). In the beginning I took all 160 mg at night, with a pdoc's permission, because of sedation. Later I went back to 80/80 mg and saw a positive difference. After time, the sedation went away and I even needed a little extra sleep aid added, but it was more a lowered sedation issue than moodstabilizing issue. During much of the time I took Geodon, my moods were a hair above baseline. Felt like a million bucks, but not out of control! I also lost 40 lbs and maintained most of the loss for over 5 years after. During that time, I also took Lithium, Lamictal, and later Tegretol XR and later a small dose of a second antipsychotic for sleep. Big cocktail. Later going off Lithium only improved my life quality more. I know Geodon was effective for me because as I was weaned off (for late onset akathisia), my moods destabilized. Only when full off did the other antipsychotic dose(s) go well beyond "sleep aid".
