For Bipolar Disorder "I have been taking Geodon for about 2 years and still having depression. Doctor is getting me off slowly, can't sleep without it. Need a new cocktail. Lexapro and Wellbutrin XL have been working great for my depression."

For Schizoaffective Disorder "DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG: REALLY BAD INSOMNIA. This medicine helped with my symptoms, but it wasn't worth it. It made me feel like a zombie, it made me feel like, it rubbish got rid of my appetite and I lost 70 lbs in about 6 months, it took away all creativity and motivation I had. It made me severely depressed and anxious for a while, made me restless where I couldn't get comfortable, and worst of all was the chronic insomnia. That started with me waking up after three hours of sleep sometimes and not being able to fall back asleep, then turned into me laying awake for hours without even getting close to sleep. I started taking sleeping pills to sleep, and sometimes they wouldn't even work. And even when they did, they made you feel horrible the next day. I never felt sleepy. I know if I wouldn't have taken those sleep aids, I probably would never have slept. Stay away from this drug if you value sleeping."

For Bipolar Disorder "I have been on Geodon for about a week now. The side effects I have experienced have been dreaming and waking up and having to decipher whether or not it was a dream or if I actually did the task I dreamt about. I have taken Seroquel, fluoxetine, Lexapro, Abilify, Klonopin, Ambien, Lunesta. Seroquel was the worst, I gained 30 lbs, and I'm an extremely active person and have been my entire life. All the other medicines either gave me horrible side effects or had no effect at all. I am now on lamotrigine, 4 mgs of Xanax a day, and Geodon. This 'cocktail' seems to be working."
