Yes I do sometimes feel a little ill after psych appointments. I get so scared because if I tell them all my symptoms they just raise the dosage which causes more problems. My main problem is zero motivation. Just doing a daily task in the house is incomprehensible. Its like my mind is killing me. It wants the body to stay still and not move. Like catatonia. I can move though.

Hi Raspberry!

I've been on Geodon for over 4 years now and it has been a lifesaver!! Literally. No weight gain, nothing. The only problem I had was that it gave me horrible akathisia in the beginning. But when I was in the hospital, the pdoc there prescribed me Cogentin and my whole body relaxed. I never had akathisia again.

I take my Geodon at night because it makes me sleepy. I don't take any in the morning, because I think I would be zombie-like if I did.

I haven't had any major episodes while on Geodon. I feel like it's a miracle. I'm really hoping it works for you, too. Best of luck!
