> 1) Your impressions of Abilify to control mood swings and intrusive thoughts (vs. seroquel & geodon)Abilify does a good job of controlling unwelcome trains of thought, especially suicidal thinking. No experience with the other meds.

> 2) What time of day do you take Abilify? Is it sedating/ stimulating for you (vs. seroquel & geodon)I take it with my evening meds as it seems to add to the sedation caused by my other meds. I found it quite activating at first though.

> 3) Weight gain or loss? (vs. seroquel & geodon)I have continued to gain weight on Abilify. I was put on Zyprexa but quit that because of rapid weight gain. It has been slower on Abilify but hasn't stopped.
I'm currently considering a switch to Geodon due to tremor and akathisia as well as the weight gain and swelling. Too bad as Abilify has worked well, helping with the depression and with focus as well. Any info about Geodon would be welcome.
