In reply to Any Geodon Success for Bipolar?, posted by AngieT on August 3, 2001, at 11:17:43
My son was initially put on zyprexa and he just stood in front of the open fridge door saying, "What can I eat next?" He gained 10 lbs. in a month and a half which is staggering, considering that his is only 5 1/2 years old and went from 62 lbs. to 72 lbs. The doctor never asked about this effect but I mentioned it and he was promptly switched to geodon.
He takes geodon and topamax now, and his eating has returned to normal, and since he is a growing child, his extra pounds are beginning to even out. The results for him on these two medications seem to be very good, and I am pleased to see him eating one or two servings and stopping instead of wanting three apples in a row, then two bananas, then more toast, etc. etc. etc.
Good luck to you.
