Hi Petter.I am still taking ziprasidone (Geodon) 40mg. I am thinking about reducing it to 20mg. I can not fully evaluate its antidepressant effects on me because my sleep has been so disturbed. I developed insomnia about a week ago, which I attribute to the addition of Geodon. Because I have experienced sleep deprivation, it is difficult to assess how much of an improvement is due to the ziprasidone versus the temporary positive effects that sleep deprivation has on me.
I always have hope.
Is ziprasidone called Zeldox in your country?
