I am a diagnosed bipolar II who takes Effexor XR, Neurontin, Valium, and Geodon. I just started taking the Geodon and have posted several messages here regarding initial nervousness and even an inability to stay asleep.
The GOOD NEWS is that both of these side effects have disappeared now (I'm in my third week of Geodon) and I'm taking 40 mg. twice a day. It has had a terrific impact on my moods and I really feel more like myself.
The good news is that, according to studies I've read, I don't have to expect weight gain like I did while taking Risperdal. Woo hoo!
Just wanted to share my happy ending!
