Geodon did not help my symptoms, but only made me worse. I had severe nausea and vomiting. I felt like I was shaking from the inside out. I couldn't keep still. I was walking around in a fog, heavily drugged but giving me worse symptoms than what I already had to deal with. My Psychiatrist didn't want to hear it that this medicine wasn't working for me "because it's a great medication!" Doctors should know that everyone isn't "textbook" and they will continue to lose patients when they don't listen to them.

GEODON MAY WORK FOR SOME FOLKS. FOR ME THE SIDE EFFECTS WERE HORRIBLE. JAW TIGHTENING, TEETH CLAMPING, LIVING IN A ZONE WHERE I COULD WATCH ME AND OTHERS, BUT HAD TO CHECK EVERY WORD I SPOKE. WHEN I DID VENTURE TO SPEAK,STACCATO SPEECH. I LOOKED UNBELIEVABLY DRUGGED. MY PUPILS WERE DILATED AND HAD A SHINE LIKE SILVER. WITHDRAWAL WAS THE WORST I HAVE EVER GONE THROUGH AND I HAVE BEEN ADDICTED TO ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. I WAS SO SICK–IT FELT LIKE RATS WERE NAWING ON MY BONES, HEAVY SWEATS, CAN'T SLEEP DON'T WANT TO BE AWAKE. SOUND FAMILIAR TO ANYONE OUT THERE? C. LILLEY

1. Geodon has some terrible side effects. Can cause dysfunctionality in employment…can make you horribly different.
2. Wellbutrin initially the drug tried, came close to causing a seizure at a low dose first try. Not for all.
3. What works for one may not for you and vice versa.
