What Causes Tremors In The Hand While On Geodon?

Hello, I was on Geodon for a few years and went off of it in Oct. by my own choise. I felt I was taking too much medication. I had slight hand tremors and they went away, so now I know it was from the Geodon. I became severly depressed and had the Doctor put me back on it 2 weeks ago. I m like a different person. Great mood, getting errands done, not afraid to leave the house. Are these side effects enough to be concerned about: hand tremors again, memory loss (a lot) can t think of simple words. Drinking lots of water, urinating more often than usual, but when I have to go, it s not a lot. Dry mouth, which I had last time. For the 2 days, I have had sores in my mouth. reading the possible side effects, it talks about spikes in your blood sugar levels. Although I am not diabetic, I do eat a lot of carbs and sugar, so I am concerned about this. I ve never had any weight issues and since back on it, no change in appetite. Please advise. Is there a comparable drug to Geodon? Thanks!

Hi,

These narrated effects are due to the side effects of Ziprasidone for sure, and the same should be handled by its dose adjustment or molecule alteration.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
