Geodon and next morning

Well I been on Geodon for about a year and a half now and at first I was taking two 80mg pills at night which was making me so tired the next morning that I had trouble waking up for class and so after the next time seeing my doctor I was told to take one 80mg pill during the day and one at night.For a few months everything was fine because I was going to class and working and then all of a sudden I started having trouble sleeping at night.I was sleeping maybe two or three hours at night which was effecting everything.I had stop going to my classes and I had quit my job because I kept getting written up because I kept falling asleep at work .Now my doctor has me on 10mg of Zyprexa and I take two 60mg of geodon during the day but I still feel tired all the time.

I can't say if I do or don't recommend this drug because the side effects are different for each person and I haven't had a good experience with Geodon

The first time I started on Geodon was Sept of 2002 but stopped it shortly afterwards. I decided to take it again just starting last week for my schizophrenia symptoms. My doctor had me start on 40mg and she said take it either at night or morning. I tried taking it at night the first time and I had to be at work the next morning making me wake up at 7:15am. I had a hard time waking up and by the time 8:00am rolled around (when I had to leave for work, it's a 30 minute drive to work), I had to call in sick because for the whole 45 minutes, I was barely awake and couldn't become alert. I went back to bed and got up like at 12 or 1pm in the afternoon. So I decided to try taking it after getting up in the morning. I took it at noon and by 3pm or so, I had to turn around and drive back home (I was going to get my car checked on). The tiredness and sleepiness came on strong and fast. I slept for 3 hours and went to bed at 8pm. So now I'm on 20mg at night. Little drowsy for the first 1 hour in my morning class until we get break time. And I've started to notice my eyesight blurs and goes unfocused. When I first started back in Sept 2002, I missed my nightly doses a couple of times and even though I was sleepy, I could not fall asleep. Then about 1 or 2 in the morning, I'd have these out-right hallucinations (ones like I've never experienced from my schizophrenia before- much worse).
