| Overall rating: | |  |
| Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
| Side effects: | | Mild Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | bi-polar disorder |
| Dosage & duration: | | 80 mg taken 2x/daily for the period of 3 yrs. |
| Other conditions: | | OCD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic/Anxiety attacks |
| Other drugs taken: | | hydrocodone, esgic plus tabs | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | The benefits are numerous. With the Geodon I haven't suffered from a bout of depression in app. 2 1/2 yrs.. Before the Geodon I suffered from depression for months at a time. I haven't been or felt suicidal at all since beginning the drug. With Geodon I am on an even keel. By that I mean that I do not suffer from the peaks and valleys of typical bi-polar disorder. I no longer have manic episodes for days and then sink into a dark depression. It has made most of my bi-polar traits go away. |
| Side effects: | | The side effects are: dry mouth, possible headache, |
| Comments: | | The treatment for me is to take 2 80mg capsules of Geodon daily and follow up with a psychiatrist. |
