I just started Geodon a week ago because a mood stabilizer isn't going to do the job. Last month I was depressed for a couple of weeks, sorta felt better for a couple of days. Then this week I started to go hypo. Today I feel like ****. I want to punch someone and cry at the same time. I'm supposed to be sleeping right now to work a twelve hour shift and I just don't feel like being around anyone at all. When I get this anger I tend to not go to work because I feel I might lose my job. I'm just frustrated that lamictal wasn't enough, that I experienced psychosis for the first time, and now I'm back to APs. Sorry you guys, life could be worse like I always say to myself, but I have support but they just don't get it.

I feel your pain. I rapid cycle and it leaves me dizzy. Right now I am hypomanic but only a week ago I was mildly depressed. My sleep goes from 12-14 hours a night to 4 hours. It is so frustrating to deal with not knowing how I am going to be tomorrow. It sounds like you are mixed at the moment. That must be tough. Hang in there. It will pass.

I feel your pain my friend - I have that yo-yo feeling as well and it definitely makes things less than optimal - whatever that it anymore.

I get the same way and am actually going through it now. I literally almost *****ed out a waitress for ignoring me... And I was there to fill out a job application. At that moment I realized I probably shouldn't be there working around people at all. In a previous episode, I was put on risperdal and it was day and night. So after this time, my pdoc doubled the dose and I'm waiting for it to take effect. 4 days now and I'm still not 100%
