I've just recently had my dose of Geodon increased, and I've been having blurred vision since I started the higher dose. Is it just me, or could the Geodon cause blurred vision? I tried calling my doctor, but she's going to be gone until Monday. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem while taking Geodon. Anyone?

Thanks, Jenn

Rather than start another topic, I am set to start taking Geodon after my chest cold clears up. Was wonder what to expect since I was told by my doctor the side effects are very mild and my dad freaked when he heard I was on this.

So what kind of side effects were coming and how did it feel? Also I will let you know if I get blurred vision. Had that happen once before with a weird mix of meds that I now cannot remember and know it is definitely not fun at all.

I did not experience blurred vision from Geodon but only took it less than 4 weeks. When I experienced it from another drug one time, I was told that keeping my eyes moist with eye drops could help lessen the effect. Hope it clears up for you.

oh my!
the things that happened to me when i took geodon! i remember blurry vision as being one of the least of my worries! i gained almost 30 pounds in 6 weeks and was leaking milk from my breasts! my tubes are tied & i have no children!!! i got off that drug as fast as i could after deciding the cons outweiged the pros! i think i had every possible listed side effect on the card with that one. i sure don't want to frighten you, each person has a different chemical makeup, and geodon might be a miracle drug for you. give it a chance before you give up. i gave it six weeks before calling it quits. best of luck!

I had it with Seorquel. Those AntiPsychotics can do more bad than good! They can hurt your vision! Geodon and blurred vision?
