Typically, side effects tend to reach their peak around 4 to 5 weeks of taking a medication at one steady dosage, then they taper off in severity, until they disappear entirely, so if you just started it, then it is far too soon to judge how well it is, or isn't going to work for you.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Geodon as possibly including nausea, headache, anxiety, weight gain, cough, and runny nose.

Ref: Geodon Information

How are you doing on it, now? Has anything changed? Are you on any other medications?
