    Does anybody take Geodon (ziprasidone) and have the side effects of eye tics? What have you done about this?

    I have a tic where my one of my eyes at a time close a lot and it looks like I'm winking. It started when my dosage changed from 60/60mg twice daily to 40/80mg morning and night. My doctor is trying to lower me to 20mg/80mg but I'm afraid lowering the dose will bring back psychotic symptoms. I don't really want to change medications because Geodon has been truly phenomenal thus far aside from the severe sleepiness. #shizoaffective #Schizophrenia #Antipsychotics #Geodon

    I'm here because I'm at a therapeutic wall and medication isn't giving me results with out out weighted side effects. I need people in similar mixed diagnoses opinions on what works and what's not worth trying to commit to. just had a bad reaction to risperdal. about to begin geodon, currently taking buspar and valium.

    New meds for BPD/bipolar (Geodon/Ziprasidone) #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Bipolar #Geodon

    Psychiatrist put me on new anti-psychotic so my "highs" wouldn't be so extreme. Also, I haven't been sleeping (been manic). Apparently it acts as sedative as well; did sleep through the night but had to take two sleeping tabs too. On 20mg now, will increase to 40mg in five days. Would like to hear about anyone else's experience with it...?

    Therapeutic Lithium Level

    At 55 I've been taking lithium for over 30 years for my #BipolarDisorder type 1 along with the #antipsychotic drug #Geodon ...I just wonder how many others would be willing to share their diagnosis and meds they take. Sometimes i feel like i miss the ups and mania...I'm so calm now and am almost tempted to not take my meds so that i can have the surge in energy and mood because i want to stay up all night and write till the break of dawn...
