My brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia one year ago. He was proscribed with Geodon few weeks ago, after no success with other drugs. The problem is that he refuses to take his medication. Can I get more information about it?

As you probably know, it is not so good that your brother is not taking his medication for schizophrenia. However, you did not mention me if his doctor is aware of this? I will give you details about this drug. Geodon is bedicine that it is being used in the treatment of the crippling mental disorder known as schizophrenia. Geodon is usually prescribed only after other medications have proved inadequate, just like in case of your brother. Reason for this is that this medicine has potential serious side-effects. Geodon comes in a form of capsule and as injectable version. Capsules should be taken twice a day with food. Maybe the reason of your brother’s refusal to take this drug is that he had some side-effects. More common side-effects are accidental injury, symptoms of cold, constipation, cough, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea, and rash. Less common side effects include abdominal pain, agitation, anemia, chest pain, confusion, impotence etc.
