Quetiapine vs Geodon (Ziprasidone)

Hi. I am taking 300mg Venlafaxine (IR), 45mg Mirtazapine and 300mg
Quetiapine IR (Seroquel) for unipolar depression and anxiety.

The Quetiapine I take at night and it really helps me sleep. Of late though I have been having anxiety attacks again and my psychiatrist has suggested replacing it with Geodon (Ziprasidone), as he hates to give me diazepam Grin

Does any one had experience of taking Geodon for depression and anxiety, what are the pros and cons etc?

Thanks
(Ps I also see a psychologist weekly.)
