AshleyS Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So I have been on Geodon for 7 days and im noticing that im getting muscle stiffness. Is this normal and if it is how do I fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've been on Geodon and never had a problem with muscle stiffness. I had a problem with my heart racing and needing EKGs, so I had to stop it. Maybe you are on a too-high dose to begin with, and it is building up in your system too fast?

Rabbit37 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Muscle stiffness sounds like a fairly serious s/e (please note I am NOT a Dr, not even in my dreams). I would call pdoc if I were you, at the least it sounds like something to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifequake Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I remember giving up on Geodon due to the muscle stiffness early on. I am just starting it again tonight and hope to give it a fair trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If the stiffness still is an issue I would see or talk to your pdoc over the phone as soon as you can. Like Rabbit has said above, if I were you I'd call your DR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
