i am a highschool student and have been taking geodon off and on for at least 6 months, i got BPD and have been on other stuff but this is the only one i will put up with, after being on it at least 6 months i still could not wake up in the morning, when i get up my eyes start rollin around the back of my head and i cant stay awake , i cant walk and i slur my words when i talk, at the most i was taking 20mg morning with 40mg riddlin and at night 20mg geodon, well i got pissed off at the side effects and stoped takin it in the morning. i read up on riddilin and i dont like it being narcodic so i stopped that since its summer and i can sleep a little later. long story short i thought i wasnt bipolar and had no problems this was a big mistake, a month after completly stopping geodon i relized all my close relashonships have been destroyed and blame it on not taking meds. one more thing i noticed though, if anyone gets very parinoid on geodon thats what happend to me and when i got off i wasnt parinoid, its now setting back in, i cant stay in my home alone. but anyways just thought id put my two cents in about that stuff its kinda put me through hell.

WOW. I havent read many of you with this problem, but i gained like 25 pounds in 2 years. My sex drive is at an all time low. I mean i am 20 years old and up till when i started the pill i was ALWAYS horney(well were being honest)! I have always been eisily worried and annoyed but never emotional at all. After taking this pill i began to cry-something i hadnt done since i was a baby-seriously. The worst of all was that i became parinoid of everything, constintly worried. Finally about a month ago i went to the doctor to talk to him about getting on an anti-depressant (for the side effects of yasmin, but i didnt know) and he took my blood pressure...I have always had abnormally LOW blood pressure but when he took it, it was 160/100! THAT WAS IT! i am 20 years old and about to have a heart attack! I went off it immediatly. The next day, LITERALLY THE NEXT day my blood pressure was at 110/88 and its been going down since. Obviously DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!
I do have a question though for any of you, and please email me the awnser if you have it...."DOES THE WEIGHT GAIN GO AWAY?! and if so how long does it take??? WILL I GO BACK TO MY NORMAL WEIGHT?? ok, thanks for listening..and GET OFF YASMIN NOW!

I gave to husband this morning and he is not himself, called doctor she said stop taking. BUT she prescribes to all her patients. She will keep in mind, my comments. He is extremely disoriented and in a fog, after ONE PILL! Who can help? This should be taken off market considering it cost $25. A PILL! It sickens me the FDA allows us as human guinea pigs! Would appreciate more info on this medication current standing.
