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?
