After concluding that Risperdal was interrupting my sleep (overly energizing) and that I put on 5 lbs in a few weeks and hearing props from folks on this board about Geodon, I just scored some. I start at 20mg tomorrow and move up to 40mg. Doctor was surprised to hear that Risperdal was causing weight gain and constipation--something I did not realize until thinking about the weight gain and what has changed over the last several weeks. He stated that the clinical studies suggest that Risperdal is better as an adjunct, which is consistent with several abstracts I read on remedyfind.com, which explains why this was the first line of attack. Look forward to hearing what you all are taking Geodon for and dosing and any side effects. Thanks a lot for all the feedback. If things work out, I guess I owe you -- perhaps the $110 I pay for 20 minutes with the doc. ; )
Take care,
Todd
