I have been wondering if my Geodon is causing me to be stopped up with my sinuses. I have never had a problem with allergies. This seemed to have started a few weeks after I started Geodon and has persisted now for awhile.

I have been on Geodon for almost a year and it has not caused that problem for me.

My son had allergic reaction to it last year he was 16. It was ok for a couple weeks but then rash / hives & stuffiness , oh yes and extremely swollen tongue, scary. His older sister had taken it before with no allergy.

I have been on it for nearly 3 years with very few side effects. But I do get a runny nose in the morning and at night, not sure if it is related to the med or age/something else, it doesnt bother me. Seroquel really blocks my sinuses up.

Been on Geodon for eight months now and haven't noticed any increase in my allergy symptoms that I'm aware of. I have year-round nasal congestion and asthma, so I can't really tell if there's a difference. YMMV.
