I take 20mg of Geodon once a day. I've been on it for roughly 4 weeks. Several days ago the area under one of my eyes started twitching. It pulses rapidly and at least a few times a second. It was going on for several hours at a time.

Yesterday, I noticed it early in the afternoon and it went on all day. I thought maybe sleep would help, but it was twitching when I woke up this morning.

I am starting to suspect it is a side effect. I looked it up and read the following:
'This drug may rarely cause a condition known as tardive dyskinesia. In some cases, this condition may be permanent. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any unusual/uncontrolled movements (especially of the face, mouth, tongue, arms, or legs).'

Does facial twitching qualify? Another site said twitching or muscle spasms is a common side effect, but it did not label it as serious. I plan to call my doctor tomorrow, but wanted to know if anyone has experience with this. I am very med sensitive and this appears to be the latest in a long list of drug issues for me.
