Does geodon (ziprasidone) cause add, akathisia or inability to sit still. have trouble sitting on one place?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Akathisia, not ADD: Geodon (ziprasidone) can cause akathisia, a kind of motor restlessness. In some people, this can be an experience of not being able to sit still. This differs from add, a more comprehensive problem. Please talk with your doctor about what you're experiencing.
