I've been on geodon for almost two years and I never feel hungry. Strangely enough I'm still a bit over weight. I know this is a side effect of the med and it sucks. Anyone else have this issue?

Also been on Geodon quite a while. Have not noticed a difference in appetite, but wish I wouldn't feel hungry like you. I need to lose 60 pounds. I just eat too much and have not moved much during a two year depression.
I hope you feel better soon.

I've been on Geodon for a year and a half, and I lost about 30 lbs. in the first six months I was on it. Now that I've been on and off Zyprexa (mostly on) for the past nine months, I've gained most of it back. Can't win.

Yes I had that side effect when on it. I'm off it now and seem to be getting my appetite back a bit. I was only on it for two month though.
