For anyone who is taking or has taken zeldox

i take 80 mg of zeldox 2 times a day. i have these episodes where i am so tired it feels like i am about to fall asleep. it's like when you're driving a car and can't stay awake. does anyone else get this? they are much better now, but still scary.

Yes, my pdoc put me on Zeldox awhile ago but I had to switch to something else because I couldn't work out of profound exhaustion that just hit me like a ton of bricks!!! I don't know if that goes away because I wasn't able to wait that long.

When I took Geodon it made me so tired I couldn't stay awake two hours after taking it, so... yeah.

Hi there. If you are looking on information about Zeldox it is called Geodone in the US and you can find more information that way (hello fellow Canadian).

The Zeldox does make me sleepy. I fight fatigue a lot. I am not sure if all of it is the Zeldox. Sometimes I will get that feeling but much less now that I have been on it for a longer period of time.
