I've said it before, Geodon is a funky med. Still not sure I like it.
The other night I ate pizza for dinner & took Geodon. Slept like a rock. The next night I ate salad w/chicken (not as much fat) for dinner and took Geodon. I couldn't fall asleep, I was restless and slept poorly. Guess I needed more fat for the Geodon.
I like the fact that Geodon doesn't cause weight gain, but I just feel like I can't depend on this med, it's too unpredictable. I am trying to diet and lose weight - so sometimes Geodon kicks in and sometimes it doesn't.
Also - since starting Geodon, my vision has gone to crap. I've had to start wearing reading glasses for everything! It has really effected my vision.
Doc said an option is to go back to Seroquel at night for good sleep (love that sleep), Klonopin as needed and low dose 2mg Abilify during day.
I may have to give Abilify a shot. Doc said you can or can't take it with food, it doesn't matter.
Maybe Abilify would be more dependable more predictable?! I have found Geodon very frustrating this summer!
