I take geodon. I take it before I go to bed. It only induces panic attacks if I have to wake up early and there is lack of sleep. If I get a good night's rest I won't have the panic attack side effect of the geodon. But yes, my geodon induces panic attacks. I noticed when I went off the geodon recently I didn't have any panic attacks at all and I didn't need as much sleep. But I went back on the geodon because I was starting to have paranoid/suicidal thoughts again.
