> I am diagnosed as bipolar II and am taking Effexor XR, Neurontin, and Valium. I just started discontinuing Risperdal and taking Geodon but I'm so nervous that I feel as if I'm going to jump out of my skin! Has any one else had a similar side effect with Geodon- I really want this one to work because I had weight gain on Risperdal.

Yes, yes, yes. I tried a small dose of Geodon (5 mg)for 5 days and had to stop it. I have seen the other posts saying the nervousness wears off, but I felt so physically sick on it, and am in a crunch work-wise, that I just couldn't afford the lost time spent feeling awful on it. My emotions were really intense and I would come home every night and just sob from nevous pent-up emotions. Physically I felt too revved up and was getting electric head-zaps. My doctor recommended cutting the dose down lower. I called her and left a message that I was stopping it till we could talk about it more. Strangely, I could see how this drug could really help me if I were really slowed down with depression. But I think combining it with the Lamictal isn't going to work for me. But I see that lots of other people really like it.
