> So I was on Zyprexa 5mg for about 6 weeks but gained WAY too much weight so my NEw Pdoc switched me to Geodon 40mg BID. Well, it's been over a week now and I have to say that this is probably the best I've felt in a long time. Motivation is up, feelings of well being are up, mood is up, anxiety is non-existent. I'm pleasantly surprise by how fast the Geodon has worked and with no side effects!!

I tried it for about 5 days and I was exhausted. I really needed it to give me a boost, but I just never got it. I thought maybe I wasn't taking a high enough dose. I started with 20mg once a day then 40mg once a day. I took mine at night because it wiped me out. If I took it during the day I think I would have slept the whole day away.
Maybe if I took a higher dose I wouldn't have been so freakin' sleepy?
