Ziprasidone "Geodon is wonderful for me. For a very long time, 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, 40 mg a day with 300 mg Luvox-and have success. It's not a total cure, but I would say symptoms are 70-80% better."

"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."

"This drug is a life ruiner. Within a 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 had obsessive-compulsive disorder since 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, the Internet, YouTube, reading a book, or an article, everything triggers obsessions and consequently compulsions. I live with constant anxiety and fears, and the blame came all from this 'medicine.' I want my life back, my tranquility back. Stay away from this drug if you want to live and safely."

"Saved my life. Intrusive thoughts went down enough to where I can finally think properly."
