Geodon in low doses 40 - 60 mg initially makes me sleepy, but then after it wears off I get a burst of energy. I have been told that I am not on a high enough dose. If I split dose and take during the day I sleep all day.
People have told me, lower doses doesn't work and needs to be dosed higher.
I'm scared. But, do I try and dose up to 100 or even 120mg? Doc said we have lots of room on this med to go up.
Isn't the "sweet spot" for a lot of people at least 120mg?
Will I still feel manic if I go higher? How long does it take for the higher dose to kick in and work.
I can't keep doing the 40mg and have the mania. No good.
What do you think?
