I just started on Geodon and i was freaked out when i saw the side effects! but i gave it a try. i have tried many other drugs in the last year and a half and i am still taking half of them to this day. (I put the "B" in BPD) I have been on Geodon for two weeks (up to 180mg) and i have notice a HUGE difference in my tolerance level and attitude. i don't get angery, looking for a fight, yelling at the kids or swearing like a sailor. then, i would cry, and weep about what just happen and the mess i made. i don't have those anymore. I am taking a lot of meds. that help other things,with my BPD. but Geodon was the only one that helped my anger issues. YES, i have side effects:dry mouth, staying up tooo late, some stomach problems and a little temorring. but it is worth it!!! when my kids say "Mom is in a good mood today,Dad." or "Thanks Mom not yelling." who could argue with that?

I will say that since taking Lipitor I have fallen 3 times , have a stsggery fell when I walk ,legs feel weak,hand and fingers are tingley ,have no engery,depressed, and angery . That a doctor I trusted with my life and health care could hurt me so bad.A year ago I wouild never beleive I would be in such a shape as I am too day.I now am going to a neurologist to see (?) what wrong with me. I know what I beleive it's 80 mgs of Lipitor for 2 months of my life that really messed me up.My girlfriend has me on the prayer list at her church.Thanks pray everyone gets better.

my grandson is dead. his friend gave him methadone at school for his headache. he died in his bed that night. he was 15 years old. I'm so angery, and I miss him so. He was not a drug user. His friend just said," Here just take these and your headache wil go away.

I have been to the doctors so many times and got no where.
ive been told your in pain because your depressed( who would not be depressed ) but i said i am depressed cause im in such pain.
i remember asking once if it was due to the thyroid or the drug and the doctor said your levels are fine and the drug gives no side effects.
I feel like stopping it right now to be honest.
I only got it after my third pregnancy and i remember reading once it can correct itself as it could be caused by pregnancy ????? any ideas.
ive copied and pasted a lot of these comments and i will be making a trip to doctors to be fobbed off again im sure ....but its worth a try
