Geodon (ziprasidone) varies: In its ability to act as a sedative. Some people take it and it actually keeps them awake. It is very unpredictable in this regard. If however you found it to be sedating for you previously, then i would expect it to be sedating for you if you were to take it again. Thank you for clarifying your question and i hope that this reply helps you. Best wishes.

Your medication should be managed by a Psychiatrist. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help you and recommend supportive services that may include a sleep study.
