I was on 80mg of Geodon for about 1 year. I started having uncontrolled eye and neck movements. I was taken off the drug. However, I've been left with the side effect of Dystonia. I have no control over my neck muscles, my head is in the backwards and to the left position. Trying to move my neck to the right is very painful. I have to get botox injections every 3 months in my eyes and neck. The shots stop the movement for a few weeks but do nothing for the positioning of my neck as the shots weeken the muscles. I've been told I will have this the rest of my life and the only other treatment would include brain surgery. I am in pain on a daily basis, and when upset or in public the movements are greater which only causes anxiety.

I was on 80mg of Geodon for about 1 year. I started having uncontrolled neck and eye movements. The Dr. took me off immediately. However, I was left with the side effect called Dystonia. I have uncontrolled neck and eye movements. I have to have botox injections every 3 months in my neck and eyes. I'm left with my neck in the backwards and to the left position. I've been told that this is something I will have to live with the rest of my life. I'm in pain on a daily basis. Trying to move my head to the right side if extremely painful. I've been told other then the botox treatments which don't work that well and wear off my only other course of treatment would be brain surgery.
