i am a caregiver, i have a patient who was prescribed with Geodon 60 mg. 1cap 2x daily, he d been on it for 8 days now, prior to this med, he was taking paxil and perphenazine which was both discontinued and replaced by geodon. The patient has become more irritable, temperamental and explosive.it sounds like the geodon is not effective or is it too early to see the effect?Diagnosis: Schizophrenia and Mental Retardation
