I have a mood disorder, and I've been on geodon for 13 years. It causes weight gain. I've always been a bit overweight, but now I'm morbidly obese. Trying to get my geodon switched to something easier on the body that still helps my mind. I used recumbent bike today, but only was able to do ten bc of knees. Everytimes different. Every week is different.

Good luck. Hope you can get a better med and get on that bike. We all have some kind of struggle.

Wishing you all the best. Meds are so tricky. Hope you can get something better. As for the bike, ten minutes is a good start.

Find some kind of exercise/activity that you can do, like swimming or even just walking in the pool, If you have access to one. Water resistance is great and not a negative impact on joints. Exercise is soo very helpful for depression and mood disorders.

April... I too take Geodon... along with a host of other meds for my mood disorder. I talked with my doctor today about titrating down on my meds a bit to see if it will 1. cause a big disturbance in my well-being, or if I can tolerate a smaller dose and 2. to see if it will help with my weight loss. He is going to make a plan for us to look at next week to begin to do this. I hope your doc is cooperative and works with you to look for another solution. I'm lucky... my doctor is on board... but we both agree that the weight is secondary for me. I just would like to know what life is like without all of the medication. Good luck to you! Let us know how things work out for you.
