I like what you wrote in your journal too. I'm considering Geodon for bipolar but I'm scared. So many of the bipolar meds have made me worse than being bipolar. Have you had any bad symptoms?

Close Bipolar Disorder
I got diagnosed with bi-polar 10 years ago, and with depression aged 23. But, as many here will know, it can take years of suffering before you're diagnosed and then properly cared for. My condition is in remission at present. My meds are Geodon/Zeldox; Epilim/Sodium Volproate; Zopiclone; Citalopram anti-depressant; occassional Clonazepam (anti-anxiety).
Treatments
- Geodon Working / Worked
- This drug at very low dose has had a marked positive effect compared to Ziprasidone. In 8 months I have lost 15KGs weight from being obese at 105KG to nearly within normal at 95KG. The downside is that I am far more alert at night and have to counter this with sleeping medication.
