Not too much to tell actually. Six days after I began taking Geodon 20s, I had a heart attack.
It occurred early Tuesday morning and I got immediate aid (was at hospital and diagnosed about one hour after first symptoms, then got immediate treatment.)
What leads me to believe it was the Geodon is the manner it was prescribed:
It was my first visit with the psychiatrist and of the 50-minute visit, about 30 were spent filling out forms, talking to the insurance company, etc.
I was interviewed for about 20 minutes and the psychiatrist made his determination based on that 20-minute period.On the web at :

I found, "In some people with heart problems or a slow heartbeat, Geodon can cause serious and potentially fatal heartbeat irregularities."
