I think anti-psychotic drugs are also used for anxiety disorders, treatment-resistant depression, agitated states, OCD , and as a major tranquilizer for sleep disturbances. If Geodon isn't helping your problem, or you're uncomfortable taking it, then don't take it. Keep in mind that psychiatrists don't like it when a patient wants to become his or her own doctor with respect to taking medication. If I were you, I would *insist* on an explanation before changing doctors or making any change on your own. Have you spoken with any pharmacologists? They can be very helpful, and sometimes they know more than the docs themselves. Best wishes. &8-]
