I'm supposed to split my dose between morning and night time, but it makes me so tired. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to be patient, unless you've been taking Geodon for several weeks already. I took Geodon for over 7 years and it wasn't too long after starting it that I grew used to it and it didn't even make me tired at night let alone the morning. I took 160 mg (80 mg in the morning and 80 mg at night) for most of that time.

You need to eat it with a full meal like 400 calories.
 I recommend coffee!  I take 80mg twice a day. I can't drink alcohol close to the doses because then I fall asleep. good luck. happy thanksgiving. bizi

I take 120 mgs at night and 40 in the morning. I tried 60 in the morning but it made me way too tired.

When I was on geodon I never could take it in the morning. It always made me tired and yucky feeling, so I took it all at night (where it made me tired and yucky feeling too). Overall, geodon and I didn't part ways well.

I've been slowly lowering my dose of geodon in the AM and got down to 40 mg and seems I can't go any lower. I run on nuvigil and a bunch of caffeine.

I'm on 40 a.m. and 80 p.m. I experience the fatigue also, but more alarming to me is that my vision is disturbed, very blurry, and I'm unable to focus on my computer screen. No more reading for pleasure, I suppose. The fatigue passes in about an hour, though, and I rebound to my normal energy. I'm hoping to read what others post here to get some suggestions.
