Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes, it can be: Some people experience such symptoms with Geodon (ziprasidone) and other antipsychotic medicines. It's called akathisia, and can be helped with either a reduction in dose or in some cases, addition of another medication. Please contact your psychiatrist & tell him/her what's happening with you.
