Hi everyone.
I have been on Geodon since the minute it came out - I am in my second month. It has done wonders for removing (completely) ruminating thought patterns and most of my anxiety issues...except during the monthly hell of PMDD. Nothing yet has seemed to put a dent in that mess but we'll see about this month.
Katrina - Seeing Dubovsky in Denver was the best move I ever made. A wonderful woman on this board gave up her own appointment for me when she could see that I needed to see him more than she, at the time. It takes months, as you know, to get an appointment. I had been misdiagnosed with ADD (only) when I actually suffer both ADD and Bipolar Disorder. It was the mood disorder causing most of my concentration issues, though, and the Adderall was provoking rapid cycling and some especially ugly mixed states. I share your and Cece's symptoms.
Let us know how it goes with the Geodon. I also got better sleep on Zyprexa but it made me groggy in the morning and I gained 20 lbs in 2 months!! Now, that's a depression all in itself. I am now in the process of sweating it off with exercise and diet but it hasn't been easy to lose. I have been slim all my life and this has been difficult for me.
Best of health to you all.
Karen
