Well now that I've been on it for a few days I can definely tell a difference in my sexual drive. I am unable to get and keep an erection or it is very difficult. But this is not all uncommon for these types of meds. I was just hoping it might have changed with Geoden.
It is very discouraging especially when I'm trying to meet someone. I guess I'll have to postpone that part of my life too.

I experienced something similar for the first week or so after starting Risperdal, a drug that is in some ways similar to Geodon. Perhaps you will find this problem to be as transient as I found it with Risperdal.
May I ask for what conditions you are taking Geodon and how you have responded to it?
Thank you and good luck.

It's too early to tell, but I think it might be helping. I hear voices.
