I just started a new medicine called geodon?

Question

maybe someone who's been on it can tell me how it made them feel? better or maybe the side effects...my psychiatrist called it the crisis medication... i want to hear what people thought about it.

Answer 1

I was just prescribed this medication about an hour ago. It was given to me for mild bi-polar. I suffer from panic attacks, mood swings, and irratibility.  I am very weary of meds and the side effects that they have. The doc told me that the main side effects were sleepiness, possibly developing high cholesterol, and diabetes. She said that I would not gain weight. (Which was a biggie for me.) I hope it works for you... as much as I do me. What other meds have you tried? What was the reason you were given this medication?

Good Luck!!! Wish me luck also!
