Yep, at max dosage I have no depression or hopelessness. It invokes mania in me and I take Geodon to calm that and to stop anxiety. Geodon and Lexapro together are my perfect mix.

works very very well

dkh227 (Anxiety)
this has been the best thing for me. I got off of it a year ago and now the anxiety is back. time to renew my prescription!

only side effect is that for the first week my anxiety gets a bit worse but then tapers off entirely. also, a slight weight gain can possibly be attributed to it as well.

10mg daily.
