It's called Geodon here in the states. Why don't you try a search? You're bound to find a lot of information that way.

Out of the three AAPs I've tried I've found Geodon/Zeldox the most tolerable. No side effects really. No weight gain or increasing of apetite. But I can't quite put my finger on what exactly it's doing for me. But at least I don't feel worse on it.

I was on it for almost 2 years. It was weight neutral for me, in fact, I lost weight on it. I don't really know what it did for me, if anything. It made me extremely tired and I had trouble getting up in the morning. That's one side effect that didn't go away for me. That's just my experience. I hope it works well for you.

For most people, it tends to be either neutral or activating, but for me geodon in any dose above 40 mg/day made me seriously fatigued all day. That and Seroquel are the two main meds that wipe my ass out like that.

I gave it a good two months to see if it would work. It didn't for me, so I had to go on to something else.

But keep in mind that my result was not common, and you will likely have a different result.

Hi, I am Australian too

I find it to be a good med, i have never been able to stay on it long enough, but in the 6 days it takes before the akathisia kicks in, it really helps my thought problems and doesn't increase my appetite. That last point is a godsend in the world of antipsychotics lol.
