> I'm taking 2500mg of Keppra and 200mg of Geodon. I take all my Geodon at night. If I try to take any geodon even during the day it makes me sleepy, but it doesn't seem to make me sleepy at night!

> I'm having terrible shakiness during the day and it gets worse the closer I get to taking my next dose of Geodon. I hate feeling this way.

> I've tried splitting my Geodon dose, but then I have to take a nap a few hours after I take it in the day. It's just not worth taking it during the daytime.

> Why am I so shaky? Xanax helps, but I don't know if it's actually anxiety I'm feeling. Could Geodon cause excessive shakiness or anxiety?

> Any suggestions? Am I missing something? It seems like the Geodon is the one causing the problems, but it has taken away my mania.I took Geodon and had to d/c it due to its side effects. It made me dead tired in the middle of the day, to the point where my eyes were shutting even while out in public. In addition I suffered extreme anxiety while taking it.
Can you switch to an AP or AAP with a "friendlier" s/e profile?
Good luck,
Jade
