A member asked:
How long does it take for the drowsiness side effect of geodon (ziprasidone) goes away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 4-7 days: Geodon or ziprasidone tends to have sedating effects during the beginning of treatment, making someone drowsy. These effects tend to go away after 4-7 days. If they persist, let your doctor know to adjust the timing of the dose or the dose amount.
