"i have suffered from bi-polar for 20 yrs now and tried every med there is and suffered their side affects. geodon has had the fewest side affects and has worked the best. i&#039;ve been on it for almost 3 years now along with topamax and klonipin. i can&#039;t say i&#039;m totally healed, but i&#039;m as stable as i&#039;ve ever been and i stay at a normal mood level."
