Comparing Geodon vs Risperdal

For Bipolar Disorder I suffer from bipolar mixed state & I hear voices .and the geodon 40mg 2 a day works good. They say its suppose to help with paranoia but it hasn't helped yet. Maybe I haven't been taking it long enough yet. Only another problem I'm having is constant restlessness I can't be still. I forgot the name of it.but besides of that the geodon has been working ok just my paranoia still is not good and I still hear the voices sometimes but my bipolar is under control.

For Bipolar Disorder Just came off Lithium and Lamictal combo. I needed a change plus having surgery, have pain medication needs that can't be addressed with a drug like Lithium. Loving the Geodon so far. Energetic and "lifted," sleeping like a baby. I hope it lasts.

For Bipolar Disorder It's helped my paranoia, delusions, irrational thoughts, and impulses to self-injure and commit suicide more than anything else. Also helps control the hypomania because I'm not on a mood stabilizer. It just also makes me extremely tired and sedated and I'm constantly hungry and have gained a lot of weight on it. I've fluctuated in my dosage from 3 milligrams to as low as 0.5. Currently taking 2 to 2.5 right now.

For Bipolar Disorder It def helped with my mania,I just feel slightly off on it but it has helped a lot I take this and celexa to help with my obsessing but the risperdal made me gain weight,I went from 120-125 to 140 I'm so unhappy bout the weight gain I'm going to try to switch medications&will come back to this if I have 2,trying 2 find something better but this def helped my mania and doesn't make me real tired like seroquel and abilify or almost pass out like geodon
