Not really.: Geodon (ziprasidone) is an antipsychotic medication and some of the side effects are akathisia , or a feeling that you have to pace, fidgetiness, tremors , sometime similar to anxiety except that it is physical not emotional. The side effects could be dose dependent. I suggest you share this feeling when you see your dr. Next. Good luck.

Is your clothing : Fitting tighter after taking geodon (ziprasidone)? It belongs to a class of medications that can be associated with weight gain. Wearing clothes that are too tight can impair your circulation.

No, it is not: No, Geodon (ziprasidone) is not known to cause numbness. It sounds like you may need a different size of clothing, though. Antipsychotics may lead to increased weight, and you do need to be conscious of your food and exercise. Best wishes.
