Geodon has a warning about prolonging the qTC interval. I'm not a doctor, so I have no idea what that means, but I think its linked with sudden death. Geodon itself, however, has not been linked to any greater number of sudden deaths than any other antipsychotic.
Yeah, meds can be rough. I personally find that Abilify is great, aside from the weight gain (which has stabilized, awesome). If you decide to try seroquel, there are some studies that seem to show that taking metformin with it reduces weight gain considerably and reduces the risk of diabetes.
