Geodon?

Hello,

Last week I asked about Abilify, this week I'm asking about Geodon.  My dr. said to give it a try.  I'm still really nervous about weight gain. So I'll post the question again.  Anybody here on Geodon?  Any weight gain with it?

I took Geodon and lost a bit of weight on it. It didn't work as good as Abilify does for me but it's a great option for avoiding weight gain. It's supposed to be the best of all the mood stabelizers for that.
Good Luck

I got put on geodon almost 2 weeks ago, I am not sure if it is working for me me but I have actually lost weight since taking it.  I was on remeron and that made me gain weight, then he just did change my meds and diagnosed me borderline bipolar.  I hope that helps you, I would try it for atleast a month good luck!
