Geodon Lawsuits

A Geodon lawsuit is a legal option for anyone who has suffered serious Geodon side effects after taking Geodon. Geodon, which was approved by the FDA in February 2001, is an antipsychotic drug prescribed to treat symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In recent years, Geodon has been linked to numerous dangerous side effects ranging from heart problems to neurological conditions which have given rise to a flood of Geodon lawsuits.

While the Geodon label has always warned that Geodon may cause a number of mild side effects, it was not until August 2004 that Geodon’s manufacturer, Pfizer, acknowledged a link between Geodon and serious health problems, such as Diabetes and life-threatening heart complications. Still, Pfizer refuses to add additional warnings regarding other dangerous complications that can result from Geodon use. These serious complications include Torsade de Pointes, Tardive Dyskinesia, and Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome.

Thousands of lawsuits have already been filed by individuals who claim that they were injured by adverse side effects related to antipsychotic medications such as Geodon, Zyprexa, Risperdal, and Seroquel. For example, more than 8,000 personal injury lawsuits have been filed against Eli Lilly, Zyprexa’s manufacturer, by patients who claim they were harmed by the antipsychotic drug. In 2005, those lawsuits settled out of court for $690 million.
