I was taking risperidal and it worked great, but the weight gain and glucose intolerance were enough for me to get off of it. The psychiatrist recommended that I try Geodon. I started at 40 mg (along with Wellbutrin XL). I was still experiencing symptoms of auditory hallucinations and still was feeling irritable. He increased my dosage to 80 mg. It feels like I am emotionally better. However, now I am feeling tired all the time, my blood sugar keeps geeting low, I have had indigestion, and my vision seems to be getting worse. I saw another doctor who thinks my symptoms are related to my medications.
