In reply to Geodon, what to expect?, posted by Maximus on November 27, 2009, at 10:49:32
I tried to do exactly what you are doing, and it did not work. I went as high as 60mg x 5/day. It made my vision very blurry. And all of a sudden I started self medication first with alcohol and then pot. I was still a mess. And the geodon gave me diabetes, unlike the zyprexa. I was acting very wierd and my work relations started going down hill. Also freinds were concerned about me and saying I was going through a fase. If I were you I would stay with the zyprexa and take something to counter the side-effects. Or take perphenazine. Its the next best thing to zyprexa. But does not have the eating, diabetes, etc, like zyprexa. Currently I take both. Zyprexa and perphenazine. I think the perphenazine is helping to control the eating with zyprexa. You can also take metformin for diabetes if its a problem or a statin for cholesterol and bupropion sr for energy and eating. I also tried abilify, which was worse than geodon. I'm still recovering from the abilify for the last 3 years!
