geodon anxiety attacks

Yes - I have been on Geodon for a little over a year and I get horrible anxiety and panic attacks. My doc put me on Xanax and then Valium and nothing works to stop it. I wake up in the morning with Panic and my quality of life is going down the tubes. It helps keep my head "straight" but I have to take more and more of the Geodon to make the panic go away and then I get too lethargic and dont want to do anything. I have never experienced this before in my life until I started Geogon (about three or so weeks after starting). My next appt I am going to request a different medication as I have found several posts on sites with people having the same side effect. Please let me know how you are doing and what you decide to do - thanks Christine
