| bipolar- experiences with Geodon?
I was taking Zyprexa and Lexapro and getting good effects on my mood, but I had to stop the zyprexa due to the weight gain. My shrink put me on Geodon a week ago and I'm now up to 60 mg a day and upping to 80 mg today. Eventually I'll be up to a dose of 120 mg, 40 in the morning and 80 at night. Stopping Zyprexa seems to have done the trick with regard to stopping the weight problems, but my mood has been crap lately. In addition, I'm having awful anxiety problems whenever I'm in public or around large groups that I never had when I was on the Zyprexa.
I have another appt. next week and will talk to my doc about it then, but has anyone else been on this med? Are these just side effects that I'll tolerate better with time, or is this stuff just not working for me?
