I stopped my meds tonight, I started taking Geodon 80mg on Tuesday evening. The side effects were insomnia, and next morning lethargy. I could barely drag myself out of bed.

I don't know anything about your meds but it does seem a bit soon to give up on them. I hope you are ok.

Side effects do take time to pass and you do have to be patient with the medication while you're waiting for that. You're introducing chemicals to your body and it needs time to adjust. The times I wanted to give up on one kind or another is too many to mention, luckily my consultant is good at reasoning with me and I've kept on and been glad I have.
