_Just_A_little_off_ Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I hope this is the right board since Borderline is my main dx. I was given geodon today. I am nervous to start it. Psych doc didn't say how much to take. I just know I am supposed to take it at night. He had it written on a small paper I saw it said 2 pills. Each pill is 40 mg. From what Ive read online you take it twice a day. But he wants me taking it at night to possibly help me sleep. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowen Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I know someone who takes their Geodon just at night because it makes them sleepy. It seems to work alright for their purposes. But you typically take it more than once a day, as it has a short half-life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarn Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 You do generally take it twice a day because of it's half life but it will also depend WHY you're taking it. It sounds like your p-doc is giving it to you to target specific symptoms that interfere with your sleeping pattern. I would take it as your p-doc described.
