Geodon (ziprasidone) withdrawals are debilitating and have many withdrawal symptoms what can i do for heart pain, palpatations, beating really fast? i'm goingcrazy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

SEE MD ASAP: See a md asap. Stopping or decreasing geodon, (ziprasidone) or any psychiatric med., too rapidly can be very dangerous. Call your doctor today and be seen to discuss how to taper more slowly for your safety.
