Actually, been on Ziprasidone (Geodon) for about 1 month after a 1 year use of Seoquel. First the good news, it doesn't result in the weight gains of Seroquel (I balloned on the stuff) and dosen't make you drowzy for the entire next day. Now the bad news: better get your heart checked before you start! I developed heart "fluttering" in about 3 weeks after increasing the dosage to 80. Beleive me I feel the "out of step" heatbeat and it becoes more that a little scary. To be fair I have a history of heart problems so keep that in mind Second problem versus Seroquel: It's tougher to go to sleep at night. And the daytime drowziness is gone. On the benefits side it is an effective drug for Bipolar and Schizophrenic types. And the daytime drowziness is gone. I feel great and it appears to work wonderfully but I'm not sure its worth the the risk. Oh BTW, I also take Lamactil for Bipolar along with Lexpro and Welbrutin. Hmm . . .4 psychotropic drugs.
