What is Geodon?

Geodon is a prescription medicine given to adults to treat the symptoms of:

1. Schizophrenia
2. Acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder

If you have schizophrenia or experience manic or mixed episodes caused by bipolar disorder, your doctor may have prescribed Geodon to you. It is a medication that can lessen the symptoms of schizophrenia and manic or mixed bipolar episodes.

You take Geodon as either a tablet you swallow or a solution that is injected into a muscle. Geodon can be used alone or alongside other medications for your condition, such as lithium or valproate. Always take your Geodon exactly as directed by the doctor who prescribed it to you.

Geodon active ingredients

The active ingredient in Geodon is called ziprasidone. It is a type of drug called a psychotropic or an atypical antipsychotic. It can help to reduce the symptoms of mania caused by schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Ziprasidone works by altering the levels of certain chemicals in your brain and by altering how these chemicals affect your brain.

Your neurons (brain cells) produce natural chemicals called neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters help signals pass through certain regions of your brain and regulate brain functions involved with thinking, memory, emotions, reward pathways, and perception.

Ziprasidone can alter the balance of these neurotransmitters, causing concentrations of them to build up in your brain if you have low levels, but also reducing your brain’s sensitivity to them if you have high levels. This balancing of serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine levels can improve thinking, mood, and behavior, easing the symptoms of mania.
