Hi maggiern,
Happy New Year!
It's nice to hear from you. I'm glad you posted.
Each person experience different side effects to meds. I've read that Geodon does cause some people to gain weight while it caused some to lose weight.
Have you talked to your doc about
it? Exercising and proper diet can help prevent this weight gain and also help you to lose the extra you put on. Your doc may be able to recommend a plan to help you.
See link with some helpful information on Bipolar meds and weight gain:

Please know that we are her for you.
Take Care
