Not a good experiece for me

Had two of the worst nights of my life. Missed three days of work. Couldn't stand. Bathroom time for many hours....never again.

I have been on Geodon for about 6 months. No side effects, and it is helping.

I had no ill effects initially. Developed edema in my lower extremities really badly. After investigating possible cause,found that the only reproted case of a reaction to geodon was in a woman from Taiwan,was on it for 3
months when symptoms started. Still have the edema but it has subsided remarkably, since stopping the med. Best of luck!

Works great for me. Makes me sleep much better than Ambien.

Meant to say the only other reported case of drug reaction causing same symptoms of edema. Sorry, I didn't clarify that!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
