I have been taking lithium for a few months.I also talk geodon. I have been restless and pacing around my apartment. my legs move all the time if I am sitting I feel alot better when since I started to take the lithium but the side effects are killing me. my doctor gave me a med to stop it but it didnt help. I dont know why this is going on. Does anyone else have side effects from lithium

I've had good luck with lithium, not too much side effects at all. My dose was lowered because of a few side effects. Geodon can cause akathesia (sp?) which might be that restlessness you feel, perhaps you should talk to your dr. about it.

I was wondering if it was the geodon.

Restlessness is a side effect of Lithium and Geodon. You may want to ask your pdoc to taper down the dosage of one of them to help determine which med is causing this.
