[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 14442, member: 1498"] Geodon is an antipsychotic (also known as the major tranquilizers) like Risperdal, Seroquel, Abilify and Zyprexa. It is not weight neutral but it may not be as bad as some of the others. The biggest concern over other antipsychotics involves Long Occupational Therapist (OT) Syndrome, a heart disorder. The dose she is starting at is the normal recommended dose (120-160mg/day for adults, no dosing listed for children because it isn't approved for children). The dose of Risperdal she had been taking is less than half the normal recommended dose (2-3mg/day). You may see a lot of sedation for a while. Geodon is suppose to be given twice a day, 60-80 mg morning and night Don't be surprised if you can't wake her in the morning if she's taking the whole 120 mg at night. [/QUOTE]
