I honestly do not like taking Geodon. It can have negative effects on your heart. However I have been taking Geodon for at least six months now. If I miss just one dose I start to feel extreme withdrawal. My withdrawal side effects are blurred vision, nausea, headache, and weakness. And I've never had withdrawal from a medicine before. But for some reason it's really bad with Geodon. I'm going to ask me Doctor about this.

I have been on geodon 20 mg 1x daily for over a month now. It has helped my manic outburst (I am labeled with borderline personality disorder). The negative side effects for me are...I'm seeing things, I have increased anxiety (to the point where my husband must sit in the bathroom while I shower because I feel like I'm being watched), I have increased paranoia (I believe my phones to be tapped, which I have never even considered in the past), and I now sense the presences of people all around me....watching my every move..sort of feels like I tapped into a spiritual state of mind. I know I sound like a skitzo, but this medication created all these symptoms. I feel less depressed but more psychotic. I am seeing a psychiatrist next month and getting off these awful pills.

I am taking 120 mgs a day of geodon. I hate it and love it at the same time. I have severe withdrawal if i dont take the dose at the exact same time! I cant sleep and if i do its for 20 hours at a time . I am also taking seroquel and the combination is the worst if you ask me. I heard that Geodon is the new Lithium? Any one else hear that?
