Watch for anxiety. We believe my severe anxiety was triggered by the Geodon since I was not suffering from it until I began taking it.

Advice & Tips
Be very, very careful of "hyper-sleep". I was driving to work and had this happen twice while I was driving. Hyper-sleep is characterized by 1-4 minutes of deep sleep that comes on suddenly. While brief, if operating a motor vehicle it can be deadly.
