I seem to be getting dizzy spells when I drink diet soda. This did not happen until I came out of the hospital back in February and was put on Geodon. I am wondering if the sodium in the soda is affecting the geodon? Anyone else have these issues?

As it turns out, it was the Geodon. I stopped taking it right after I made the post and 2 weeks after stopping the dizziness stopped as well. I have not been dizzy since. Very strange....
