In reply to Is Geodon a good med?, posted by Mimi on May 23, 2003, at 14:41:02
Hi Mimi--
Of all the psych med I've tried, Geodon is the only one which produced a complete remission of my symptoms of double depression. By the 3rd day, I was normal--for the first time in decades. I felt a bit like Rip Van Winkle waking up. Unfortunately, after 2 weeks, I developed severe extrapyramidal symptoms and had to discontinue Geodon. I would have given *anything* to be able to continue taking it. My pdoc switched me to Seroquel, which did nothing but make me sleepy.
As you can see from the replies you've gotten, PBers have had highly varied responses to Geodon; it's definitely a YMMV (your mileage may vary) type of med. Please let us know about your reactions to it. Good luck!---medlib
