Geodon Pains

[paranoid_cataclysm]

Has anyone taking Geodon ever experienced extreme pain in the jaw when biting down?  I woke up with this a few days ago on the left side and it started to go away but it came back as bad as before.  It hurts so much just trying to chew food.  I woke up yesterday with my left arm having a similar pain in it right above the elbow when I move it in certain ways.  I read jaw pain and left arm pain is a "very serious" side effect of Geodon and you should seek medical attention immediately but I don't think this is the same thing as that with the way they just describe it as "jaw/left arm pain".

Dear Corlenbelspar,
The duct tape would not be strong enough, but that glue that sticks to anything would work.  Only problem, you'd get addicted to sniffing the glue and pdoc would notice a new tic and give you more meds.
Laughter is good. We are the sanist and brightest people on earth that is why we have to take the meds.
Sincerely,

I forgot to say my migraines actually happen less frequently on it but I have the really bad memory problems too.

I had the same problems when I went cold turkey off of it but my movement disorders I had all my life became even worse than before.  It seems like only people trained in psychiatry notice when I have involuntary movements as that's the only people who have noticed and commented on my movement problems.  I'm back on it now fortunately as I REALLY need something to stay stable.

I was thinking of duct taping those big orange caution cones used for traffic to my nose if I can get a hold of a couple.  That'd really be like something straight out of Monty Python like that skit where the director had the buck teeth going down to his waist and everyone in his films had huge buck teeth like that.

I didn't have the pain in the jaw, but I had a severe headache daily. And I could not remember things I had done with family or others the day before, completely gone.
When he took me off it cold turkey, I had the "flu" for four days love those porcelan goddess days, ugh.
Needless to say...um I don't like it.

Staying up to date, the oil changer cones are longer, pointier and more absorbant.

Wow I hope it goes away on it's own at least.  My jaw stings as bad as when I broke my toe.

Speak to your psychiatrist about it but to me it sounds like the standard muscle tightness from any antipsychotic that could be treated with a side effect pill but of course they would be able to make a conclusive decision.
