My husband was given Geodon with Prozac in June 2002 at a Denver hospital. Immediately, he felt horrible--like he was dying--couldn't eat or talk, was anxious, paranoid, and hallucinating. Before the Geodon, he was just depressed. After the Geodon, he felt suicidal and out of his mind. He paced for about eight weeks and had a burning sensation in his brain. His new pyschiatrist gave him lots of drugs to get over the effects of the Geodon. He still felt awful on all these drugs. We found out later he had serotonin toxicity from the Geodon and Prozac. Eventually, he went back to work part-time, but this was too much stress for him as he still felt awful. Then he had ECT. He is still on disability, but is just on Prozac. Geodon was a horrible experience for him and things just escalated. I do not know why it is handed out like candy. We can empathize with anyone who has had a similar reaction to this drug.
