Hello, I started taking Geodon 4 days ago. First 3 days I took 20 at night, then after noticing immediate extreme drowsiness called pschiatrist and told to increase to 40, again at night. I am still so tired. I slept 11 hours last night and still woke up in a fog for 3 hours! Usually I don't have the opportunity to do so, as I have a small child. What should I do? I know that paradoxically this side effect can be decreased with increased dosage, but it hasn't happpend yet. By the way, I am still having a lot of angry aggressive episodes- yes, I know it's still early in my new drug therapy. One more thing, I take 200 mg of Lamictal and 30 mg of Prozac. I have been diagnosed with chronic depression and still am undiagnosed type of bi-polar disorder, but have been told it's not manic, bi-polar 1 nor 2. After lots of research, I am thinking I should propose Borderline Personality Disorder to my doctor. Help me please! I want to be able to live and not be asleep or angry during it! I want to be able to spend quality time with my child and husband instead of being irritable from my condition compounded with the prescriptions that are supposed to help me rather than hinder me!
