Geodon (ziprasidone): In some people, Geodon (ziprasidone) can cause orthostatic hypotension -- when your blood pressure drops when you stand up. You woudl be dizzy and maybe uncoordinated when you try to move. It is a dose-related side effect of the medicine which you need to report to your doctor. Dose may need adjusting. I haven't heard of Geodon (ziprasidone) causing joint creaking, though.
