geodon / ziprasidone weight loss / gain ?

Posted by jtevers on March 20, 2004, at 19:31:40

please help...

i have over several years gained 60 lbs. while on a medication regimen of seroquel and neurontin. i was diagnosed bipolar in 2000.

fighting hard to get my life back in order...

a switch to ziprasidone / geodon has been recommended by a psychiatrist and i wonder...

anyone out there who has lost weight having switched to ziprasidone, or is neurontin to blame?
i have heard both success and some horry stories...

i need to hear from you, thanx.

hi,

i've been on 100mg of geodon for the past few months and i've been fairly rapidly losing weight since then. i've lost about 15 pounds, which for me, being 5 feet tall, is pretty significant.

good luck!
