> I am curious to know what are people's experiences with Geodon (ziprasidone). It seems to be a rather unpredictable drug.

> 1. Diagnosis?

Bipolar Depression.

> 2. Dosage?

40 - 80 mg/day

> 3. Therapeutic effects?

Mild to moderate antidepressant effect during first week followed by relapse.

> 4. Side-effects?

Cognitive blunting, brain-fog, derealization

> 5. Reasons for discontinuation?

Lack of efficacy, cognitive disturbances.

> 6. Would you recommend it to others?

It would not be my recommendation as a first-line treatment for any condition. I believe that it has a place in the treatment of schizophrenia where negative symptoms predominate.
