Before starting on geodon a baseline ekg should be performed. then yearly ekg should be done to see if their have been any QT (electrical impulses) have changed.From further study it looks like the safety of geodon for longer than 3 weeks treatment for mania has not been tested. and their have been no studies concerning tolerance or addiction potential.
My first ekg came back saying that I needed a full cardiac work up when I had one done 2 years ago at great expense to be told it was stress.My heart is fine!
My current ekg this morning said it was 350 msec when the threshold to be concerned about is 500 msec.
So I think I am fine.
