Geodon has been great for me. I was on Zyprexa and gained 125 pounds. Got off of Zyprexa and started taking Geodon. I have already lost 14 pounds. On Zyprexa I was sleepy all the time. I slept all day long. I hated it. On Geodon I'm not sleepy. I don't even need naps. I love it. The only side effect I have is a runny nose. I'm happy I switched to Geodon.
