Geodon and call in sick

The first time I started on Geodon was Sept of 2002 but stopped it shortly afterwards. I decided to take it again just starting last week for my schizophrenia symptoms. My doctor had me start on 40mg and she said take it either at night or morning. I tried taking it at night the first time and I had to be at work the next morning making me wake up at 7:15am. I had a hard time waking up and by the time 8:00am rolled around (when I had to leave for work, it's a 30 minute drive to work), I had to call in sick because for the whole 45 minutes, I was barely awake and couldn't become alert. I went back to bed and got up like at 12 or 1pm in the afternoon. So I decided to try taking it after getting up in the morning. I took it at noon and by 3pm or so, I had to turn around and drive back home (I was going to get my car checked on). The tiredness and sleepiness came on strong and fast. I slept for 3 hours and went to bed at 8pm. So now I'm on 20mg at night. Little drowsy for the first 1 hour in my morning class until we get break time. And I've started to notice my eyesight blurs and goes unfocused. When I first started back in Sept 2002, I missed my nightly doses a couple of times and even though I was sleepy, I could not fall asleep. Then about 1 or 2 in the morning, I'd have these out-right hallucinations (ones like I've never experienced from my schizophrenia before- much worse).
