So i had to get off of the wonderful Seroquel that worked so good for me, because it caused chronic migraines that required tramadol everyday for 2 months. Got on Geodon and i can't stand it. I was a zombie today. I slept all afternoon and then vegetated staring off into space for the rest of the afternoon. I couldn't read or do anything on the computer. I was in a "half asleep purgatory" as someone put it. The dr wants to keep taking it till monday and see how i do. I missed making $20 today washing a van because i was too tired and overwhelmed. So getting my $80 garden wagon didn't happen. I am too tired on this medicine to care about flower gardening at this point. anyone else with problems with this med? Latuda did nothing for my anxieties and possibly made them worse. did nothing for my depression but made it worse at night. Anxieties real bad in the morning and depression in the evening. i wanted to die so bad. not usual for me. Ablilify did nothing for my anxieties and make me feel like a bad lobotomy. is these types of meds not for me? the dr did ask me before taking it if i wanted trileptal. is that any good?

The tramadol not making you energetic? I'm going to give it a shot next week.
I was like you, but on Zyprexa. I'm not on anything at the moment so I am enjoying the clarity. Hope you find relief really soon. |

I'm disallusioned with bipolar meds now. I posted before about vision loss from the lithium. It gave me IIH and I had to get a shunt installed in my head before I go completely blind.

Geodon fatigue only affected me at the very beginning of my treatment. Then not at all.

Geodon worked really well for my agitation and racing and intrusive thoughts but gave me akithisia and tardive dyskenisa. I didn't feel like a zombie on 20-40 mg.

I tried geodon but got such bad akethisia that I had to stop it after 3 days.

it gave me jaw clenching for a week or so. when it wore off last night I had a bad headache two different times last night. I didn't take another dose last night. I took one this morning and slept the afternoon away.
