Stopping Geodon after 10-11 days

My doctor started me on a trial of Geodon about two weeks ago. At first, felt okay and saw some positive things about the drug. Then the negative side effects began emerging and I wound up in ER last Sat. My doctor had told me I could stop the drug if I didnt like it. The ER wasnt sure what to tell me to do. They left it up to me. So, I stopped it. They gave me Ativan to calm any anxiety. Last dose was Sunday and this is Wednesday. Feeling off, extreme anxiety, unwell. Is this common? It comes and goes, like right now Im a little calmer but earlier extreme anxiety. Is this normal?????

I was also recently put on geodon.  My side effect is also anxiety and I feel like I cannot catch my breath.  Like scary .... I am so short of breath like I cannot get enough air in.  Do you have this side effect??  I am also on Clonidine for anxiety and high blood pressure.  Maybe it is the combination of the two?  I am so confused.  The medicine is supposed to help anxiety not cause it!!
