MDJunction to me

"Mdjunction Tourette Syndrome site has given me the opportunity to share my experience of raising a child with TS, with others, especially those with new diagnosis. Support is essential for families and individuals with tourette as is information. I'm glad to have the opportunity to be there. I also learn as I go as others share their experience and knowledge."

MissMay1977	I am on Geodon and have been for 2 years or so. I have some anxiety but I don't feel it is caused by Geodon.

How do you know the Geeodon is causing this feeling?

i get what i call perma(nent) goosebumps that make me want to crawl out of my skin, accompanied by gut wrenching anxiety. I take 160mg of Geodon, should i be looking at this as a side-effect? i know you guys aren't doctors, but is it possible?

Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-o, and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have. -Penn Jillette

brat3020	I think it is Geodon because it is on the known side effects list and started after I started Geodon...no other changes. I also get the goosebumps/chills out of nowhere. Geodon is considered "activating" at certain dosages and can cause anxiety as well.
