As an antipsychotic medicine, Geodon helps to improve the symptoms of schizophrenia. It also helps to prevent schizophrenia relapses (worsening of schizophrenia). The medication is also approved to treat acute episodes of mania or mixed episodes (which involve symptoms of both mania and depression).
On occasion, healthcare providers may recommend Geodon for treating something other than the conditions discussed above. This is called an "off-label" use. Some examples of off-label Geodon uses include:
