My constant disorganized thoughts, racing thoughts and being drained has all lifted after starting Geodon (and my sleep is perfectly normal now). And now I'm afraid. I'm afraid because now I realize how really sick I was - and I don't want to go back to that. I understand everything much better (the way people talk, act, behave). The struggling with my mind and the way it drained me really blurred everything around me 24/7.

If I go back to the way I was I don't know what I will do. I'm going to bring this up with my Dr. tomorrow. (I just started going to a University outpatient program for residents who are supervised by a psychiatrist - the psychiatrist suggested Geodon for me. I've been on all the older and newer AP's with very little success and/or strong side effects. And now I have reason to believe that I'm really schizoaffective. The disorganized thoughts stand out as a major symptom which trigger all other sorts of problems with my mood, energy. But putting a name on it may not mean a great deal.) I'm just kind of amazed and scared at the same time.

Right on, yaaaaay for you. It's like pulling your head out of the clouds, a first taste of normalcy. No one wants to go back, that's why we must keep up with treatment. I understand that fear, the fear of losing a grip of what we just attained and going back, expecting too actually. It's great when your expectations aren't realized.

Stay on your meds and tweak them when they need tweaking and you should do all right. I've heard mostly good things about Geodon.

I am happy for you!

Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
