a little more about GEODON - yxibow and others....

OK, so Geodon is an antipsychotic, which is not a bad idea for a BP2 like me, but it is odd to take it at night. I do this because when I started it I took it in the day but could NOT stay awake. However, I started Paxil (which I am off now) at the same time so maybe that was the sleep agent. Anyway, I LOVE the emotional state I am in w/ Geodon and my only complaint is that by evening I can be really really shaky, I guess it would be considered almost manic, mind working overtime (with great ideas!), shaky, headache... don't know. DO those sound like "normal" Geodon side affects that I should just overlook? Or what do I do about them? (I'm also on Lamictal and Restoril but we'll get to that later)
Thanks for ANY insight!
Mary PS: think I should try switching to daytime dosing again?

Hi,
Sounds to me like the simple solution could be that your meds are wearing off by nightime so taking the Geodon in the am would fix that :-).
