Geodon and legs

my friend has been on geodon for about 3 years and is experiencing some very strange things! She gets cramps, like seizures in her legs and can't walk when this happens. Her doctor says there is nothing wrong. She gets neck and leg twitching and recently, the leg things have come with shortness of breath. Does anyone know anything about these side effects?Please reply! Thank you.

I have been on 40 mg Geodon for over 6 months, and I stay like I am in the clouds and my legs and hands will shake ,bad anxiety,I don't want to go out and do anything.I want to get off this drug against my docs orders , does anyone have any information on withdrawals from the Geodon?and how do you tapper yourself off it . email me *** thank you Melissa

Geodon was not worth it for me. I took 60 mg in the evenings and noticed I had a clenched jaw, anxiety, blurred vision, late menstrual periods, and HORRIBLE insomnia. I took myself off it with no problems.

i'm 15 and have been on the medication for a couple of weeks. i feel like my vision is blurred. other symptoms i have are bleeding in the nose, dry cough,trouble concentrating, my leg won't quit moving, and i can't eat. looking at food just wants to make me hurl because when i do eat, i get a terrible stomach ache or sometimes i just tasting the food makes me sick. my head always hurts and my legs are weak just after walking up stairs. that's not normal for me. also, i'm always thirsty and i have trouble remembering things, which i didn't before.

I only took geodon for about three days. It maid me feel like my legs were week to the point where they were going to give out at any time. Plus was constantly pacing around and believe to be extreamly over ancious. I also no that I especally was not a nice person to be around. 3-40mg a day!

noticed my jaw is clenched as i read others this happened as well my eyes are blurry now and ive only been on this shit for a week. I just took 60mg just before i read these posts and im supposed to take another 60mg in the morning but im gonna just skip it totally until i see my psychiatrist. I'll tell her it was my decision to stop bc it wasn't helping it was only making me more anxious with negative side effects. I can't stop shaking either and my jaw shakes and legs are restless as well as hands. When i was on risperdal i had like no side effects but i got off it bc it lowers your libido. Anway my suggestion would be to find another drug that is for you bc this is certainly not for most after reading this forum.

I have been on Geodon for a little over a week. The doctor told me to take 120 mg once daily in the morning. No one else on this page seems to take all this in the morning. About 2 hours after taking it, I crash. I can't even keep my eyes open. Throughout the day I get really tired. Like I have no energy in my body. Towards the evening, about 6pm, I get really cold. I feel like I have to stretch all the time, especially in my legs and arms. Dry mouth, dizziness...I also have insomnia, since I do not take this medicine at night. Overall, the experience hasn't been that bad. I used to have visual and auditory hallucinations (I am bipolar/personality disorder/schizoaffective disorder). Now I do not have these symptoms at all. I am also taking Wellbutrin for mood and Desyrel for insomnia. Want to know if anyone recomends getting OFF this medicine before I get in over my head with symptoms. If you have any suggestions for a different medicine, please post it.

Since Geodon and increased dosage, my tongue and jaw and neck are clammped so tight that I broke some of my teeth. Sometimes my eyes go in back of my head and fingers and arms stiffen and are rigid and I am in trance like state. After 2 hours of taking, my butt is knocked out cold and I cannot wake up for anyhting while I am stuck in terrible nitemares and horrid sweats. My muscles in my legs and arms are constantly locking up in charlie horses and the pain is so bad as well as nausea and vomitting. I cannot tolerate smells of foods now without getting sick. Supposedly Geodon and Abilify have same chemical components, so what's the sense in switching ? I always had nitemares but this is terrifying and I am paralyzed it feels like and can't waken from these nitemares. I am desperate for help as nothing else has helped, but I feel like I have 20 new problems on top of what I already had ! Godd Luck all !
