I have been on Geodon for several months (maybe around 8 months). Started on 40mg - didn't help mood, upped to 60mg, mood less angry but...
Geodon has given me constant, uncontrollable eye twitches in my left eye. Embarrassing! Also, I'm not sure that Geodon has totally controlled my symptoms. Couldn't up it to 80mg as I had other twitches appear!
Also concerned about long term heart issues (my mother and others in my family have severe atrial fib).
I am thinking of moving over to an easier mood stabilizer without the worry of heart issues and all these crazy twitches.
I was thinking of going back to tegretol or trileptal. Any others I should consider?
Don't want weight gain, twitches, heart problems, etc.
