I started taking Geodon 40mg about 3 weeks ago and after the first night I started to notice some legitimate improvements with my thoughts and mood while taking 12.5mg of Zoloft with it.

However, after about 6-7 days I noticed I had anxiety (mental & physical) that I never had before and it has been the same way since (about 2 weeks now). Also, ever since taking it my memory has been shot. It's almost like I'm just existing, yet still having racing thoughts with anxiety. Very strange and frustrating since I started to feel a positive change. I even bumped it to 80mg for a few nights and nothing. I also sleep 10-12 a night which I'm grateful for, because at this point I'd rather not deal with anything.

Has anyone had this issue?

I also see my doc this week and I'm going to ask about a new AP called LATUDA and give that a go as it seems to work on psychotic thoughts/racing thoughts/depression pretty much all in one while not making you so fog-minded. Any reviews on Latuda would be great too. Thanks everyone! I'm glad I found this board!

With any AP it can be hit or miss as well as an adjustment period to what works. I take Geodon in addition with Lexapro and have found this combination to to work well for me to control my symptoms. I have been on this combo for several years with dosages varying according to symptoms.

Perhaps give Geodon a little more time for you to adjust to it, but most importantly suggest that you talk to your pdoc about your concerns.

Thanks for your response. Are you taking those meds for Psychotic Depression?

No, my dx is schizoaffective; bipolar type. My psychosis is independent of my roller coaster moods.
