Geodon Information:
Geodon (generic name: Ziprasidone HCl) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is also sometimes directed for use in patients with depression and bipolar disorder (manic depression). The active ingredient is Ziprasidone, which is an antipsychotic. In patients with schizophrenia, the symptoms cause the chemicals within the brain to become imbalanced, which results in delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, agitation, no emotional responses, lack of feeling and low motivation. Geodon should help schizophrenic patients to understand what is real and what is not, help them to feel normal, help them to feel less lonely, help them to feel happier and help them to express themselves more clearly. The main chemicals that appear to be affected in schizophrenics and patients with bipolar disorder are dopamine and serotonin. Clinical study shows that Geodon is safe for use in patients aged 10 and older.
