I think I’ll ask my new psychiatrist to prescribe this medication. For this reason I wanted opinions, thank you.

It worked for me and better than Caplyta, which I’m on now. I had twice as many side effects on Geodon than I have a Caplyta though.

Geodon works well for most people I was on those for 20 years. Now I’m on 900 mgs Seroquel and those works much bettet with few side effect s and much bettet symptoms control.

It wears off fast so you will likely starting having symptoms by the end of the day if you take it once a day.

Geodon gave me 1 episode of severe akathisia. Only happened once. If it happens again, I’ll stop taking it, but it seems fine now. Also gave me 1 episode of intense euphoric energy. I doubt that will ever happen again.
Nowadays, I take daily and seems to help with energy. Occasionally might give me restlessness or minor akathisia but it goes away. She says Geodon is one of the safer APs to prescribe.

I suffered greatly on geodon Maybe because my pdoc didn’t tell me to take it with food. I believe you need a full meal on your stomach when taking this. It was a big deal when it came out because it doesn’t cause hunger in most people.

It didnt work for me. I went psychotic, fought the cops and the hospital and ended up committed to the state while i was on it (i think this actually happened both times i tried geodon).

It gave me intrusive thoughts so I stopped it. Didn’t help with paranoia.

I’ve been on Ziprasidone (Geodon) for years, and it has served me well.

I’ll say if you are very tired and slow and feel that you have problems with talking to people and have no energy then Geodon may just be rightly for you and if not the go asking for meds that are well known for calming down. I personally like Seroquel much because that keeps me down on earth.

Gave me intense akathisia for two months straight. Ended up in the hospital. That experience is still alive in me. The tension I feel moment to moment, I think, is at least in part due to how horrible that experience was.
