This medicine in combination with Depakote and Prozac and wellbutrin has finally made the difference. I'm functioning very well and rarely miss out on life due to symptoms related to my bipolar anymore.

I have been on this drug for approximately 3 years, in combination with lamictal. I take 20 mg with breakfast and 80 mg with dinner. If I take too much during the day, there is a sedating effect - we had to work our way through that. Interestingly, I still have to take ambien a few times a week to sleep even with the Geodon at dinner. I have not had any significant weight gain or loss with it. It has been very effective for me, and I have been very stable while on this medication. I do have to take the Geodon and lamictal at least 2 hours apart, otherwise I have real difficulty sleeping. My doctor can't explain to me why that is, but I simply adjust my schedule if needed. I also exercise regularly, eat a good diet, and see my doctor consistently.

This medication brought me back to normal, but made me too slow to learn in school. It caused dyskinesia so bad that I could not chew nuts or salads. I got infections and my eyes never stabilized. I had to find an independent MD to take me off and now I take truehope vitamins.
