Are you on Geodon? If so, what are your side effects? Just curious if any of you are experiencing what I’m experiencing.

My side effects are:

Sexual side effects

Can’t take naps

Don’t sleep in like I used to

Restlessness - constantly doing something

Don’t laugh

No appetite

Vision got worse

Stopped periods

Bored all of the time

Can’t read a book

Four of my side effects got better lowering my dose to 100mg from 120mg

Lightheadedness and higher blood sugar.

Some of the side effects I’m getting are what people get on doses over 200mg according to reviews online.

Tremors but I take 50 mg of Benedryl every day and they aren’t noticeable.

ED but better now on a lower dose and I have Viagara.

The most serious one is fainting if I try to get up out of bed too fast. Once I put a hole in our bedroom wall with my head when I went down. I lie in bed a few minutes before I try to get up. My doctor calls it syncope and collapse
