Just wondering if anyone ever experienced side effects in the heart department from Geodon. I'm a little worried because I have an eating diorder which puts me at a higher risk for heart attacks to begin with.
I'm at 80 mg right now with the Geodon, but I think I will have to go up another 20 - 40 mg. Just worried about my heart skipping a few beats at a higher dose which would make me faint.
Thank you.
Maxime

Heya Maxime,
I had a lying-sitting-standing blood pressure thing done, and maybe? and EEG? I can't remember. No problems at 120-180 mg, and I was on 240 for a week and didn't have problems (that I noticed) at that time either.Maybe have a checkup?

Thanks llurpsienoodle!
I had an EEG done in the hospital a couple of weeks ago whilst I was in the psych ward for 2 weeks (because I went psychotic).
I haven't had any strange effects yet, so hopefully it will stay that way.
Thanks again.
