Poll question: Are you taking psychiatric medication?
Advertisements [?]
I have schizo affective disorder. It's an illness that has symptoms of both schizophrenia and manic-depression. I take Geodon, which is an anti-psychotic, and lithium, a mood stabilizer. I'll be taking these drugs for the rest of my life as the illness is not one that will simply run its course and be gone and there is no cure. For those of you who are taking an anti-psychotic and are not happy with it, I'd highly recommend Geodon. Many anti-psychotics have heavy duty side affects, but with Geodon mine are at a minimum. That drug is the only thing keeping me from drawing a social security disability check and living in government subsidized housing.

If you want to, please list the meds you are taking and the illness for which you are being treated.
