I quit taking it because I have 3 kids and that's not a side effect I can deal with. I slept 11 or 12 hrs a night and when I finally woke up I was so groggy that the house looked terrible, I didn't care if my kids were in the house or in the road. I took 2 naps a day and went to bed just as soon as they did. I quit taking it and am now taking Tegretol. So far, no sleepiness.

I quit Geodon because I became very nauseous, had a severe headache everyday that gradually got worse and would not go away with medicine and I became very suicidal on it. If it weren't for my daughter I would not be here writing you. I hate Geodon. I also became that way on Prozac. Maybe it's just my body's system or something.
