Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Headcahe could be a adverse effect of ziprasidone (Geodon) and in that case you should take some other antipsychotic which will not cause you headcahe. Other possible options are quetiapine, olanzapine etc. Do meet some other Psychiatrist to discuss your issues.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
