Just need to know how long it will take for Geodon to kick back in? Thankyou, Susan.
[|AI|]  Hi Your sister is having psychosis and the treating doctor had started Geodon (ziprasidone), an antipsychotic. You haven't mentioned the dose (maybe 20 mg to 80 mg capsules). She is also not compliant to medication and took only for 3 days and showed no improvement. Usual effective dose range is 40 to 80 mg and if she takes continuously for 1 week and shows poor or no response, then needs to increase the dose. Make her to take the medicines without fail till she consults the doctor. Monitor for side effects of chest pain, weakness, tremors.... Hope you understood, and any queries can write again
