| Add Geodon review I've been on this med for a little over a year. I'm very satisfied with it. It puts me to sleep at night, it keeps me calm during the day. At first I did feel sleepy but about after a week I felt fine. highs and low moods This is the absolute worst medication I have ever been prescribed. I have every side effect in the book and I've only been on it for two weeks. Gained five pounds in two weeks! Stopped taking it and went back to the Abilify (which I initially stopped because, over time, it was causing gradual weight gain.) Actually, I took two Abilify when I stopped the Geodon. Felt less ANGRY, but still have ... GEODON HAS BEEN A GOOD DRUG. HOWEVER , IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR HEART IS TOLERATING THIS MEDICINE AS IT CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. KEEP UP WITH YOUR DOCTORS TAKE AN E.K.G. IF POSSIBLE. I TOLERATE MUCH BETTER AFTER TAKING A LOWER DOSE. A GOOD DRUG. BE CAREFUL. | Add LATUDA review Okay so I've been taking Latuda 80mg at night( which I use it for my bipolar ) with Lithium and every so often I get this nauseous feeling but, that's usually when I take it on an empty stomach. Sometimes even when I have food in my stomach I get this weird anxious nauseous feeling...( and to make it even worse I'm extremely afraid of throwing up, so this is torture for me ) Aside from that I've been on it for about 2 months and it has done wonders, i just feel happier ( not in a manic way ) and people around me see a difference. Seems to work well for my paranoia. Have been on other antipsychotics such as zyprexa, loxapine, seroquel etc. weight gain has been an issue for all of them including latuda. Doc switched me to latuda for delusions and Zoloft for OCD 5 months ago. I have since gained 12 pounds which is more than 10percent of my body weight. Quit Zoloft a week ago to see if that was causing my weight gain. Hoping it isn't the latuda that is causing me to gain weight. Time will tell. Latuda also makes me lethargic and emotionally flat. Feel lazy and lacking in energy. Sigh. They've been making antipsychotics for more than 50 years and still they have a list of side effects a mile long. I can't believe it. | |||
