Geodon is an atypical antipsychotic.
Geodon has "off-label" uses. For example, it is commonly added to the SSRI antidepressants for major depression if the SSRI alone doesn't get a favorable response.
Atypical antipsychotics can also help with anxiety as well.
People start at 20 mg/day of Geodon. The highest dose of Geodon, I believe, is 80 mg twice a day. Most people who are not psychotic, however, don't need as high of a dosage.
I take Geodon 40 mg every night. This helps me with the drowsiness that it causes. For the first few weeks I started Geodon, I felt mild nausea but this went away.
