Can geodon (ziprasidone) withdrawal permanently raise your resting heart rate by messing with your heart?

Dr. David Reid answered

Not likely: Geodon (ziprasidone) clears your body fairly quickly so effects should pass. It can affect your heart . Persistent effects would be unlikely and would look for other causes but i would not rule out an unusual effect that persists.
