Rapid cycling bipolar symptoms and conditions

How is this supposed to help??? I am diagnosed as rapid cycling bipolar. Geodon tops the list as the worst stuff I have EVER taken!!! Beware.......I feel like I am on a massive dose of amphetamines. Can't sleep, can't eat. Tongue is swollen and I feel like I cannot breathe. I have to keep stretching my muscles because they are so tight and I cannot stop clenching my teeth. My eyes are dry and I can't close them to sleep. I have goosebumps and am confused. Cannot seem to move, I feel like there are weights on my arms and legs. I am scared to drive because I almost went through a train crossing with a train going through it. I feel like hurting myself and my husband says I twitch all the time when I am finally able to sleep after about 48 hours.

People taking this drug for seizures are going to have very different experiences then the bipolars, I believe. Pretty much everyone has some weight gain, but not major (10-20lbs).
I was diagnosed as a rapid cycling bipolar, and before this drug, I was completely miserable. I was started on Depakote instead of Lithium due to fewer side effects, and it was a huge sucess.
Moods are stable, manic episodes are gone, sleep is stabilzed, libido is normal, depression is rare. I am 20 lbs heavier, happy, and "normal". I can't say enough good things about this drug.
Bipolars, steer away from the negative comments here and go to the bipolar support sites. You will find almost nothing but positive testimonials about this drug for our condition.

Uncontrollable ANGER, increased anxiety, fall asleep fast, wake up early and drugged-out. Hand Tremor, confusion and the inability to understand things that have been written- (Like Im looking at chinese or sumthin') Sour mouth, burning lips..THIS all on 60 mg (Im supposed to be working up to 1600 mg) for 'mixed rapid cycling bipolar'
