I have been on geodon for about one year. My dosage have been changed too many times to count. I am presently taking geodon 60mg, lamictal 200mg and lunesta at bedtime. On some nights, I am unable to sleep and I have to get up at 430 am. I am very depressed and I feel that nobody understands what I am going through. I don't know which of my meds are causing which side effects, but I need a change. I am 5ft 7in tall and I now weigh 118# (one year ago I weighed 142#).

I have been taking Geodon for six months. Due to a mixed state episode the dosage has now been upped to 80 mgs 3 times a day. I have noticed over the past week that my appetite has diminished. Due to Abilify I gained 40 pounds. Is it possible that I too, could lose weight while taking it? Do you just have no appetite to eat anything?

I just don't have an appetite. Sometimes I have to remind myself to eat (or my husband reminds me!). I have had this problem since I started on geodon. I have lost 23 pounds and that is not a good thing! I weigh 118 pounds and I am 5 ft 7 in
