My daughter has had sleepiness that lasts for a couple of weeks every time her dose has been increased. But.. it goes away. We're just careful about how we time any changes - like during the summer, or Christmas holidays - because for a couple of weeks she can hardly stay awake :-) I think it's great if Geodon works for someone, because it's about the only one that doesn't cause awful weight gain.Let us know how it goes for you!
