"i&#039;m confused about comments. do most bi- polar 1 patients find geodon taken before sleep helps sleeplessness? i have been taking geodon the last 6 months and weaned myself off of lithium. the only side affect i have with geodon is sleeplessness. is geodon more effective taken in the evening? i see my dr.in a month, i will bring up patient responses to geodon,taken before bedtime. i&#039;m willing to try!
