My mother is 57 years old and, unfortunately suffering from schizophrenia. Symptoms she experiences are hearing voices and seeing things. From time to time she has suspiciousness about anyone and everything, but for now, that happens rare. Anyway, I would like to know if the Geodon would help her. I cannot say that previous therapies did not have effect, but can Geodon help more?
Geodon is an antipsychotic medicament. It affects the chemical substances flowing within our brain. It manages the symptoms you have described. It is also use to deal with bipolar paranoia. I guess that your mother did not have any previous heart problems, because she shouldnt be using Geodon in that case. As for side effects, they are more or less common for medicaments that treat behavior disorder (difficult breathing, tremor, uncontrollable movements of face, rash).
