Default i had such high hopes for Geodon

I think that is why I have been so upset, irritable and swearing. It is helping me to get more slept and I have less stomach aches. At first it helped stabilize my mood, not be irritable and not be anxious or depressed and once even made feel wonderful. It is like paradise lost. I don't know if should ask for a higher dose again or just stop taking it and try to accept my situation of living with bipolar 2.
I want to get off of it. I also think it makes me feel a little dizzy. especially dangerous since in a little more than a year i had four bad falls

For one thing you shouldn't ask for a higher dosage yet. You just
started your last new dosage. I would also remember even the
last time the dosage started right away, it may take a little time
for the new dosage for you to see a big change. Also when you
are already upset and having problems you can't just depend on
the geodon to do all the work. So do some reading, listen to some
nice music. And just see if that helps.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with this. Have you expressed your concerns with your doctor?

i feel better. I shouldn't have but I didn't take any geodon yesterday. I haven't felt dizzy..
I have definitely calmed down. I looked at other mood stabilizers I tried them all.
I am not going to watch as much news now. last night was Brian William's last broadcast. His show was between 11 and 12 p.m. I really enjoyed it.
I start physical therapy next thursday. First thing I will do is test out if I can safely get out of the bathtub. Last time I used it was October 5th. I took baths practically every day and they had a calming effect on me.
I forgot to mention except for one lazy doorman the building really has a wonderful staff of people. When one doorman comes up to bring a package, he always a little time petting Aby. He so cute. Two other really like Aby..
I already started giving out xmas tips. I think Marci will have to the bank again. I want to give the super 100 dollars. He is so kind and doesn't expect that much.
Cognitively I feel sharper now. At Penn I had an I.Q. test and scored in the 99% percentile of Ivy league students. I don't know if I had also mentioned that when I took a test at Pfizer for programming the guy called my reference and didn't ask her any questions but instead went on and on that he never encountered that high a score before.

Mymorgy. I felt like crap when on Geodon and it did not do the job either. I got off it within a couple of months. None of the antipsycholics that I've taken have given me lastinbg results. They seem to be good for a year or so and then they gradually become ineffective. Abilify,Latuda,Seroquel,Zyprexa,Geodon,Risperdal, even Haldol.

it really is so disappointing and I really gained a lot of weight on top of it and became diabetic. now for some miracle, I am prediabetic-for how long i don't have a clue. Mine except for risperdal lasted so little. Seroquel turned me into a zombie.

Would you be willing to try the resperdol again? since you had luck with it before, can't remember why you got off of it?
