geodon side effects

I am currently on 40mg of lexapro and my therapist prescribed 80mg of geodon once a day.  I took the geodon one night and the next am I was extremely sedated.  I had blurred vision, slurred speech and I felt like my body had lead in it and it was hard to move.  I stopped taking it and after a week I still feel spacey and have some tingling in my hands and feet.  Could I be having these feeling because I had such a strong reaction to the med?   I am afraid these symptoms are permanent.  I only took 80mg once!!

80mg is sort of a high dose to start with

It takes far more than a week for withdrawal symptoms to abate but you should speak to your psychiatrist about it for follow up as regards what is happening.
