For Schizoaffective Disorder “Couldn’t think or feel on it. Felt like I was gonna have a heart attack. Had no appetite.”

For Schizoaffective Disorder “Tried 2 others with bad side effects. I’ve just switched to the above & no constipation, quiet in my head no cravings or dry mouth. Think I sneeze a bit & my sinuses are clearer. Bit of runny nose but nothing to complain about. Within 2.5hrs I’m slowly drifting into great sleep & can wake up with no alarm feeling very refreshed & energized. I’m really hoping it continues like this as its perfect for me.on 20mg at night. I’ve got my fingers crossed.”

For Autism “If you think Geodon is not working for the recipient, please Google “What you should eat when taking Geodon – Food and Geodon”. Calorie intake is very important.”

For Bipolar Disorder “I was only on it for about 3 months! I was on the toilet all day with explosive diarrhea!! I lost 40 to 50 pounds within that time period. My weight was down to 125 pounds. I’m 42 years old now. The last time I weighed 125 pounds was in high school!”

For Bipolar Disorder “Geodon wasn’t good for me I couldn’t stop moving, felt uncomfortable and had tics all the time. I couldn’t sleep. It caused tremors and affected my speech too. I forget what dose I was on, but it was only 2 weeks and I ended up going to psychiatric ER for the side effects. A low dose of Latuda has been a good replacement but everyone is different.”
