Does Geodon Cause Tremors In The Hands?
I take Geodon 20 mg daily. Have been on it for approximately 3 years. I was on other mental health drugs prior to that. I am a female, 68 years old. I have jerking sensations in my fingers, hand and other above the neck sensations. It is getting worse, quite bothersome now. I am wondering if rhis Geodon can be the reason for these symptoms.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Geodon is a brand name of ziprazidole. It may cause tremors as a side effect and it is termed as extra pyramidal side effects. You have to consult a psychiatrist at the earliest and get evaluated. You have to change the drug as extrapyramida side effects may lead to sever complications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
