I semi recently had Geodon samples,i cant be sure but i believe it helped me.
Im curious to this,at the higher dose end,60-80 mg is Geodon stimulative or sedating?

Hi,
I currently take 120mg Geodon at night (it used to be spilt day/night but it indeed made me very sleepy). However, as the day wears on and I get farther away from my last dose (the night before) I do get jittery, agitated, etc. I am wondering if it is the Geodon and I should reduce it? or if it is the Lamictal I am on (200mg - also at night). I'll be calling my Dr. this week to try and find out. He did say, though, that the Geodon has been known to increase agitation, but again, it all depends on , well, everything.
blessings

Im not taking it alone,but with a dopamine drug,sometimes a dopamine drug simply raises dopamine too much,anti psych manage the dopamine,so in short some maois combined with anti psych are done so to better faciltate the effects of the anti depressant.
