Hello,
I've been off of pred. now for 5 months. I'm doing alot better with the withdrawal. Had a serious Kidney infection in my transplanted kidney that went into my blood and made me septic. Very sick. I'm all better and my Kidney is just fine. I thought they might put me back on pred. but they didn't. My dark mood is improving and the hand tremors are going away. Hope everyone else is hanging in there.

I have been on 40 mgs of Geodon since April 2006 and I have had absolutely no side effects from it. In fact, it is far better than the 7.5 mgs of Zyprexa I was on previously (gained 70 lbs on Zyprexa) and I have lost 40 of those lbs already. I told my doctor to take me off the Zyprexa as I couldn't stand to gain any more weight, so that is when he put me on Geodon. I was still in somewhat of a dark mood all the time and still paranoid on the Zyprexa, but when I started on Geodon it cleared it all up almost immediately. Geodon has been a life saver for me. I'm sorry to read about the bad experiences of some on this medication. I have never experienced any of the symptoms mentioned in previous posts. In fact, I have no side effects from it whatsoever.
