>Shannon,
You made me laugh: I've never heard "nutjob" before.When I took Risperdal I also took Bromocriptine to counteract raised prolactin levels.
Geodon can prolong the QT interval of heart function. This can be fatal.

Hi Guys,

> I just read all of the follow up threads...we all have similar backgrounds...abuse wise...very sad...there are so many others out there like us...sigh...couple of things...Geodon is not like all of the other antipsychotics...it does not mess with your hormones and had no effect on your breast glands...lots of studies to support this...I found them by typing in Geodon and ziprasidone into Google...I despise the name "antipsychotic" for these meds...it is so scary and creepy sounding...it prevented me and I am sure many others from taking them for fear that we will be labeled nutjobs...the social stigma to mental illness is alive and well unfortunately...gotta run, keep me posted.
