Bipolar Disorde
"I have a 10 yr old daughter ( Bi Polar, Anxiety and ADHD ) who has been taking Geodon for about two months and it&#039;s been working great! I think the most important thing to remember is to go slow.  20mg for a couple weeks then 40mg for a couple weeks and so on and so forth.   It does make you tired at 1st but it wears off after a while. My Daughter was 1st on Risperdal for a couple years starting at age 6 but it stopped working well and she was gaining a lot of weight.  Then we eased her into Abilify and she was on it for 2 years and still was gaining to much weight.  I don&#039;t think the Abilify ever worked that effectively and she was just getting out of control."
