I've been on Gordon just over 2 months. I swear when I'm readying or looking at something close up my eyeballs jerk. Has anyone else experience this?

I believe I have experienced that from several psych meds. It's kind of a weird sensation and a little bit scary.
Thanks for this!

Some meds (do you mean Geodon?) can cause such symptoms, but I'd certainly let your doctor know.
Thanks for this!

Geodon was a really bad one for me I went into a full body spasm and my jaws clenched so hard I couldn't open my mouth.

Geodon made my eyes roll backward in my head and I couldn't control it

Nystagmus...*restless muscle movements in your eyes*

An uncommon side effect that should be reported to your doctor ASAP.

My eyes will kind of spaz out when I'm anxious. Sometimes I accidently do this weird thing where my eyes will get really big, and it looks like I'm giving someone a dirty look. I never really thought it was a side effect from my geodon.

My physician mentioned something about movement disorders from psych meds. I never inquired further about it though.
