The law office is evaluating individuals who may have been injured by the medication Geodon in potentially causing the serious condition known as Tardive Dyskinesia. Geodon has indications for schizophrenia and manic depressive disorder also known as bipolar disorder. There have been issues of off-label use of this drug for other conditions including depression and anxiety. Off-label uses of a drug are unapproved uses, which may not be appropriate uses. Geodon does carry risks of serious side effects including a condition called Tardive Dyskinesia, a serious movement disorder, that often involves loss of control of facial muscles. This serious condition may be permanent, and is often debilitating to the sufferer. If you or loved one have developed Tardive Dyskinesia after Geodon use, you may have the right to pursue an injury lawsuit. Please contact attorney Dr. Paikoff to evaluate your situation.
