"geodon has been a life saver.  it took awhile to get the right dose and know when to take it (am versus pm), but i am doing great now.  i take it in the evening and still have morning grogginess after several months.  my doctor prescribed provigil which really helps (although costly).  i take the geodon in conjunction with lamictal.  i have less agitation and find (at least my family finds) that i am much less hostile than before.  do be careful in the heat as i got very sick from overheating and follow instructions and do not drink alcohol.  one pina colada felt like a whole case of beer."
