I'm going back to meds that I've had the best stability with - Trileptal and Geodon. I'll wait for everyone to say, "Finally!"
I was taking 40mg Geodon at dinner and it seemed to help with next day depression. But it knocked me out so hard at night I couldn't be woken up.
I'm wondering if starting back at 60mg wouldn't be better. My doc is fine with anything between 20 - 60. Whatever works.
I'm just not sure what the difference would be between the doses. Anyone know?I'm too scared to take it during the day for fear of sleeping the day away.
I thought that the lower the dose of Geodon, the sleepier it makes you?
Anyone know?

Lower doses do tend to cause more fatigue, but are strangely more actviating. General rule of thumb with Geodon, is the higher up you go on the dose, the less activating it becomes.
