"i am diagnosed bipolar with psychotic features and i started taking this medication in 2009 when i first got hospitalized after i found out i was &quot;allergic&quot; to abilify. geodon was like a miracle. it took away all of the voices and visual hallucinations that i would experience and it worked for a very long time with no side effects which was perfect but just recently last december to be exact it just stopped working. so now i am being weened off the geodon and am being put on saphris. hopefully it will work just as well as the geodon it has been a hard couple of months including a hospitalization and 2 bouts of iop. geodon was great with little if any side effects but hopefully it will last longer for you than it did for me."
