My pdoc is considering switching me from risperdal to geodon. I'm currently on 60 mg celexa, 1.5 mg risperdal and 15-30 mg adderall (depending on the day). I LOVE risperdal- been on it for about two years because I had an "incomplete reaction" to celexa- still had some irritability, bad PMS, refractory anxiety and terrible obsessions. The risperdal pretty much wiped all those out but the problem is I gained 60 pounds. I'm hoping the geodon will work as well as the risperdal but allow me to drop to a more normal weight. I went from 140 to 200 pounds in a year. So I want to hear it all good and bad. My pdoc is meeting with the geodon rep Friday and if all goes according to plan I'll make thse switch next week. Meanwhile, I'm doing my research. Thanks.
