Geodon (ziprasidone) "Geodon is wonderful for me. For a very long my mind was cluttered with particular obsessions. I couldn't think straight. I've tried Luvox, Anafranil and a few other augmenters, nothing worked. Now, I take a low dose of Geodon 40mg a day with 300mg Luvox--and have success. It's not a total cure, but, I would say symptoms are 70-80% better."

"This drug is a life ruiner, within few days of medication, it gave me a bad reaction with: blurred vision, headache, gastrointestinal issues, tremors, restless legs, nausea and of course, OCD. I've never ever had obsessive compulsive disorders since when I was a kid, but after this drug YES. I've tried several therapies, but none of them had success, after years I still haven't found a cure and I still suffer from OCD, with an inability to do everything. If I see a TV show, a game, Facebook, Internet, YouTube, Reading a book or an article, everything triggers obsessions and consequently compulsions. I live with constantly anxiety and fears, and the blame came all from this "medicine". I want my life back, my tranquillity back. Stay away from this drug if you want to live and safely."

"I've been on Ziprasidone for OCD for several years with little to no effect. I then got admitted to the hospital for severe OCD, bumped up to 160 mg, but this medication has honestly done nothing for my OCD. I take 160 mg twice a day which can be considered a pretty high dosage, but I cannot recommend this for OCD. I am now going to try Abilify instead."
