Geodon and anxiety

Posted by cache-monkey on July 8, 2005, at 14:44:37

Hey all,

Has anyone had a positive experience with Geodon for anxiety and stabilization of mild mood swings?

I did read this interesting article where a low single dose (20 mg) Geodon compared favorably to Valium (10 mg) in anxious patients about to undergo dental surgery:

But, I'd rather hear some actual experiences from people who have anxiety disorders and/or are in the bipolar spectrum. (Other than an episode of AD-induced hypomania, we still don't know where I fall.)

Thanks,

I'm schitzoaffective, so I guess thats half bi-polar. Geodon works on my anxiety, not as well as zyprexa, but its prety good. Works fairly well for other symptoms too. I take 4-60 mg pills every day. I'm switching from zyprexa. I still take a 2.5 mg zyprexa.
