"i&#039;ve been taking geodon for about four weeks. before that i was on quetiapine which works well but gave me horrible weight gain (their paper says 10 pounds a year average and i gained 23 in 6 week! still eating well too!)
i have had minor side effects. when i first take it, it affects my concentration. i have a hard time driving and specifically moving things like looking at the road make me sleepy. if i&#039;m not driving (or looking at the road specifically) my tiredness seems to be much better. i have had some short term memory problems especially if i&#039;m stressed at the same time. other than that this med has worked well for me and is keeping my weight down. now i just have to exercise off the 23 pound belly and thighs the quetiapine gave me."
