Re: Any Geodon Success for Bipolar?

I am not BPII but major depression and switched from Zyprexa to Geodon this year. The transfer was seemless from 7.5 mg Zyp to 80 mg Geodon. I overlapped them for one week. Once off the the Z I had a couple of weeks of interrupted sleep. The Geodon seemed to be more activating and of course the Z is sedating.

I started taking my Geodon dose once in the morning instead of divided and the sleep problems went away. The G is supposed to have a short half life in your body but I don't feel a let down in the evening. I am fairly med resistant (don't see many side effects) so I may be atypical but the change worked for me. Now if I could just lose the extra weight.
