In reply to Geodon and Zyprexa, posted by HappyGirl on April 3, 2009, at 15:54:46
last year i was finally sick of my weight and asked to switch and doc suggested geodon.
keep in mind i am bipolar but mostly take zyprexa for my depression and quarky psychosis stuff.
about one week off zyprexa and my dark depression started coming back geodon was not helping, so pdoc upped it from 80 to 160. within two days i was making suicidal plans, stopped going to work and when pdoc called to check i told him if he wanted to see me again he'd have to make it by the end of the week.
so no, my switch did not go well for me. and doubling the geodon made things MUCH worse.
i don't think i've talked with too many people who have had good luck with geodon. but i dont want to discourage you. i'd say give it a try but really keep an eye on your body and any mood changes.
i do wish you good luck.
