Geodon (ziprasidone): Before they put me on Geodon I was taking Abilify and it was not helping me at all. Now that I am taking Geodon it has worked wonders for me.

Geodon (ziprasidone): I had no idea that I was bipolar until a pyschiatrist diagnosed me. I take 20 mg in the am and 60mg in the pm and I feel so much better about my life. I can focus and sleep again. The best part of it has been the feeling of "normalcy" I now have.

ziprasidone: I have suffered from Bi-Polar for 20 yrs now and tried every med there is and suffered their side affects. Geodon has had the fewest side affects and has worked the best. I've been on it for almost 3 years now along with Topamax and Klonipin. I can't say I'm totally healed, but I'm as stable as I've ever been and I stay at a normal mood level.

Geodon (ziprasidone): I was switched from Seroquel to Geodon (Bipolar 1 Disorder) for about 1 1/2 months. My feelings of "crawling the walls", restlessness, sleeplessness, and a general feeling that Geodon was not working like my old Seroquel returned in less than 2 weeks. After the 1 1/2 months, I called my doctor back and requested to be switched back to my Seroquel and life feels back to normal (as normal as it gets) with the combination of Seroquel and Invega. Thank God for the meds. I can begin to live again!

Geodon (ziprasidone): I've been on Geodon for over a year now, I take 20mg in the am and 160mg in the pm.I have Bipolar (mixed).Geodon has literally saved my life and the side effects for me have been minimal.I also take wellbutrin and I was taking seroquel as well but that lowered my blood pressure too much and I fainted a couple of times.Geodon is a very good drug in my opinion but you need to be monitored closely by your psychiatrist while taking this medication.Geodon is the most effective drug I have ever taken.

Geodon (ziprasidone): I was on geodon for about two months. I've been diagnosed with Bipolar II. It worked great after the initial side-effects wore off, mostly restlessness and agitation. I felt more optimistic and had more positive feelings about myself. But I had to stop taking it because I began having episodes of bradycardia where my resting heart-rate went down to 50 (and I'm certainly not an athlete). Now, I'm taking an abilfiy, lamictal, and remeron combo. Geodon is great but get your heart checked out first.
