Quick question

Posted by rjlockhart04-08 on July 30, 2009, at 11:12:32

I'm taking medications right now just for a trial, there working ok....Geodon. Yet sometimes it makes me feel retarted....i'm not being saracastic or irrtible, it blocks some thoughts that cause socilization, and more attention, that leads to motivation - it depends on what's the stimulus is.

Anything, concentration is off.

What dose of Geodon are you trying out? How long have you been on it?

Are you taking any other meds with it?

Also do you take it twice a day or just at night.

I just started taking it about 5 days ago and it is making me feel tired and flat during the day. Not much motivation.

160mg....it's high.

Main thing is, it just causes motivational causes, your not motivated to do simple stuff.

Yet it level's untstableness, you know....mood, a bad mood. Zyprexa, is good for bad moods. Geodon helps thinking, yet...motivational loss is there.

that's it.
