I started out taking 80mg of Geodon every day. The doctor reduced me to 60mg then 40 mg. Since then I have stop seeing my doctor and waiting on the VA to call me for induction to their medical treatment. I have been on the last refill and only taking 40mgs EVERY other day. I noticed on the nights I don't take it I stay up til 2am. And the next day I will be very irritable. On the nights I do take it I go to sleep around 8 pm. When I did take it I noticed I had to take it at 6:00 pm. If I took it any earlier I was anxious. Any later and I couldn't go to sleep until later then I would be tired the next day. One thing about it is I allot of bad dreams or allot of times I wake up cause I know its a dream. So I don't sleep well. But it does seem to make me think clearly.

I wasn't on it very long but I hated the side effects. I was so tired the next day that I could barely function. I had to leave work when i took it so i could go home and go to sleep. Not only was i tired i just felt very strange.

I was taking Geodon and it made me very sleepy until I got used to taking it. I am not taking it anymore because I didnt feel that it was helping me. Do you feel that it is helping you? If not, I would go to the doctor to switch to another.
