Can you describe in more detail how Geodon made you feel when it worked? When it stopped working, did you feel as bad as before you started taking it? I am very interested to read your posts when you reduce the dosage of Geodon. According to Stephen Stahl, MD, it is possible that the lower dosage will leave you more agitated. You may not have this happen to you, though. It might be worth exploring the use of Latuda (lurasidone) as a substitute for Geodon. I am trying to get a better feel for this drug, but not too many people on Psycho-Babble have tried it yet. However, one of my "scouts" found some positive anecdotes on other Internet forums.
