Brief Answer:
Effexor and geodon can be dangerous together

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

lyrica with the other two drugs may only increase some disturbing side effects like dizziness, although there is some potential (but normally not so significant) for respiratory depression (that is reduced respiratory capability when taking the drugs).

Effexor and geodon may interact in a bad way and (rarely though) cause a very serious arrhythmia. Although this kind of interaction is not the rule, it is serious enough to allow to recommend against their use.

Kind Regards!
