> GirlHi Girl,
I'm actually not taking Geodon yet. I am trying to build a case for my doc to let me try. I wish I could get more users to reply to post. But other peoples experience really should not matter too much; all these drugs effect us all differently. I guess we just have to try them all and settle on best one.
My doc once said I could be Bipolar II, I'm not sure what that really means. I think there are as many disorders as there are people!
How are you doing without the Celexa? I,m doing fine on Prozac except for the sex thing-I don't even masterbate anymore and it use to be a hobby! Its tough on a guys ego, but guy or girl its no way to live!!!I really hope my doc lets me try Geodon. Zyprexa worked so well, but I got up to 245lbs. I'm back to 215 which at 6'4" is not too bad. Did you weight stabilize on Geodon?
