i take abilify and was prescribed xanax for anxiety. (also tried klonopin, and 2mg helps me sleep but doesnt do a lot for the anxiety, personally.)

my pdoc said abilify and geodon were very similar, as far as they go, but geodon had more of the less desirable side effects (the eye rolling, and TD and crap), but probably was less anxiety-causing. i chose to stick with abilify and deal with taking xanax when i'm jumping out of my skin. also, increasing the dose from 7.5mg to 10mg seems to have alleviated the insomnia it caused, too. (however, it's only been a couple weeks, so the insomnia could still kick in).

good luck with geodon, though.
