Hi medlib,
Yesterday was my 3rd day on Geodon. I did not feel right all day. The area around my heart felt as if someone had reached into my chest cavity and massaged it with Vick's vapor rub. I did not call the pdoc b/c I prefer to only call in dire emergencies. I also could not think and was extremely slowed down (much worse than Seroquel). Toward evening I got on the net to research Geodon. I did not like what I found: that Geodon is in fact a dangerous med for heart function, specifically, it can prolong the QT interval. My pdoc told me that the above side effect was "not clinically significant." Well, I think I'm going to tell him that I don't consider his advice to me "clinically significant." I know he means well. I am way over being a psyche guinea pig. Needless to say, after discussions w/ my friends and family, I ditched the Geodon. I feel much better this a.m., thank goodness.
Glad I can report about it at this site.
