Geodon (ziprasidone): If the medicine gave you the best results discuss with your prescribing physician the dose adjustment for optimum response and tolerability.

Ctaplexy: Cataplexy is specific for narcolepsy. As a sleep medicine doctor i cannot find any medical literature telling that cataplexy is caused by geodon (ziprasidone). Please see your doctor.
