"i&#039;ve taken geodon for the past year and it&#039;s the best thing that has ever happened to me.  it gave me my life back.  i no longer bounce between mania and depression.  the best thing is that i can sleep at night.  i had never experienced a good night&#039;s sleep until this medicine was prescribed for me.  i didn&#039;t even know it.  while i do miss the mania, i feel much more stable and well.  i eventually got used to the drowsy feeling and it&#039;s mild now.  my only wish is that i didn&#039;t have to ingest the calories for it to work.  sometime i would like to have a salad for dinner but can&#039;t because it&#039;s not enough calories.  that is my only complaint.  this is a great medication that changed my life for the better."
