I just switched from Zyprexa to Geodon this month. For one week I took both the G and Z and then eliminated the Z completely. I am currently taking 40 mg of Geodon twice a day which appears to be a good dose. I didn't notice any problems with the transition except that now my sleep is a little more disturbed. I tend to wake up at about 1AM and stay awake for about 30 minutes before being able to fall back to sleep. I also feel like my short term memory may be worse but I think it is still too early to tell. Both the Z and G seem to help a lot with my anxiety problems.

> I suffer from depression and a debilitating case of GAD. I have a sister that has recently gotten off Zyprexa, but it alleviated her anxiety symptoms considerabley when she had an episode of major, major depression. For those of you that use Geodon how does it affect your anxiety and what if any problems have you had with it. I am terrified of TD, but think this could bea good fit. All advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff P.S. I currently take 3000mg neurontin, 5 mg valium, and 50 mg luvox
