it made me really dizzy and I could tell it was doing something to my blood pressure (either too low or too fast I couldn't tell)  It helped tremendously in calming me down and getting my brain straightened out and it stopped the racing thoughts for me.  When I first started it, it knocked me out and it took a couple of weeks to adjust to the sleepiness.  Oh yeah it made me jaw tense up also.  But it was definitely worth it.

ive been on Geodon for about 2 months now. I loved it at first, but now the Anxiety attacks and dizziness make it not worth taking. But that is for me, who knows how it will work for you

Geodon is a great mood stabilizer for many people. It has a low incidence of weight gain and very few side effects. I was on it for 4 weeks but unfortunately it didn't work for me but most people have success with it. I switched to Abilify and it works great for me!
Good Luck
