Yesterday was the first day I was to take my geodon during the day. Dosed at 80mg. So I did as I was told and took it with lunch. About a hour later I started to feel uneasy. My body felt heavy but I was completely restless. The feeling got progressively worse. I started to feel as if I couldn't breath. I stand up sit down stand up repeat. All this was happening while I was at work. I ended up saying I'm leaving I'm going to the emergency room. It was a chore to drive. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I decided I didn't want a ridiculous hospital bill so I went home took a benadryl and a ambien to sleep through. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience what did you do?

I've had it more times than I would like. Maybe 12 times. At first I didn't know what was happening. Then I was prescribed congentin for it. I would have to take a lot for it to go away. Then I was given inderal on top of the congentin. It still would take hours to go away. Finally on latuda I kept getting it from certain foods and diet sodas. Long story...I got it on the bus and that was the end of putting up with that side effect.

It's horrible and one almost needs to experience it to know what it's like. I would feel like I was gonna fall through the floor and like the walls were closing in on me. Then the up down, up down is horrible.

You can try congentin and inderal as well as visteral...
