Side Effects of Geodon

Posted at 2: 9 PM on Aug 18, 2008 by monworried, #7189
My daughter is bipola and was put on on 80mg twice a day of Geodon after changing from Abilify- speech problems, Depakote-hair fell out, Zyprexa - gained too much weight. After Three weeks she developed Panic Attacks and anxiety. She began a lot of involuntary twitching-leg and feet movements. Her Nurse Practicianer put her on Cogentin but this made things worst. I made several calls to her and the emergency numbers for the community mental health and no one has called me back in 5 days including the week end. I have been reading about Geodon and I am wondering if this is the best med for her? She had a heart attack last year 07 and a stroke this year 08. She is also on trazodone 100mg at night, lopressor and divan for high blood pressure. Do you agree I should get her a new comprehensive exam done and get a new psy doctor . I just want to get her stablized without less side effects and should I be worried at the effects of the Geodon on her heart? Her heart rate is at 53 or below most of the time. Blood pressure is down 120/68. Shouldn't her NP have put her on an anxiety med rather than Cogentin. She is 40 years old and the stroke and bipolar disorder have left her disabled.
