My pdoc finally got me on new meds. I am taking 40mg of geodon per day. Twice. I haven't been so calm in ages. Geodon works way better than the seroquel they had me on ever thought of being. Thing is, I can't seem to find myself sleeping at like normal hours between 10-12. I always find myself waiting up; and not being able to rest. Geodon doesn't have the sedating properties like seroquel. I was on 125 mg seroquel and if they raised my dosage, I wouldn't be able to function past 125mg. 125 made me too drowsy so when it stopped working they knew they'd have to switch my meds. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone knows of any meds that I can suggest to my pdoc at my next appointment that works well with the geodon. My paranoia has gone, it's just that I can't fall asleep. I am having trouble falling asleep now. I guess the thoughts are still at the back of my mind, but I don't feel them anymore! I see nothing and don't hear anything, and feel safe when I take the medicine, I just can't seem to fall asleep! Any suggestions?

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...
