Ziprasidone
"After my first major breakdown in which I was diagnosedd, I spent a year trying different medicines. I felt like a new (or like my old) self within a couple days, on this miracle drug. My dosages have varied depending on the other medicines (antidepressants and ADD medicines) I'm on. The only major side effect I've had that never went away (been on it for 7 years) was the sedation in the morn ing (I took my whole dose in evening). Now I take 20mgs 3x/day and 40mgs at bedtime, then 20mgs when required for anxiety. Right now I also take Wellbutrin XL and I'm titrating up on Abilify due to breakthrough depression. Geodon helps both mania and depression and I found it to be very weight neutral."
