I took my first 20mg dose last night. I am not experiencing any sedation or hangover. I did so with Zyprexa for the first day or two, but that disappeared quickly. I guess we'll see what happens.

Very glad to hear you started the Ziprasidone. But please don´t increase the dosage to fast. The clinical who I spoke with are specialist in refractary depression. He´s experince is that Ziprasidone as an add, most people only need 20-30mg. I´m myself tolerated in general very high dosage in most meds. But I have learned after these years to start slow. Don´t be to hurry increasing dosage. It´s easy to get side efect and than stoped the drug, without given it an fair trial.
I hope you don´t mind..
Let me know of your progress..
Best Wishes, and good luck
Petter
