I'm not sure if it's good as a mood-stabilizer (at these low doses it seems to function as an antidepressant), but if Zyprexa, a drug in the same class, can be used in such a capacity, perhaps geodon can as well.At 40 mg of Geodon, I was a complete zombie and I experienced dissociation. Going up to 80 mg made things much worse. Using Geodon at dosages no higher than 20 mg might avoid cognitive effects. However, low dosages are thought to produce agitation in some people.
What can one say? What is the harm in trying it?
