> That sounds promising. I know that some other drugs can cause nausea and it's more of a central nervous system thing, like with narcotics. If I am correct, there; I don't know physiology from shinola, as much as I wish I did. Anyway, gut irritation seems like something that can be coped with. For instance, I noticed that zoloft produces a frequent "acid stomach" which I guess would be in keeping with your SSRI gut-irritation theory. Since I hate the taste of antacids, I just use a saltine as my remedy for that empty-acidy-stomach feeling and it does the trick.

> Enjoy your Canadian holiday!Hello there, I cannot give you any good scientific data like Cam, but I am actually taking 80 mg of Geodon a day ( I am on my 2nd week ) and have not experienced any nausea. I have had a couple of bouts of very mild diarrhea, but not enough to interfere with my day. The only wierd side effect I have had is that in the daytime I have energy and at night it sedates me. I mean if I sit down I am asleep!! This is not a problem for me though, it is just strange. But I am hanging with it hoping to get good results. I am hoping to here more info about this drug. Good luck to you!!!
