What adverse effects are you having? Here is some info about Ziprasidone from Google AI: Key Things to Know About Ziprasidone Must Be Taken With Food: Ziprasidone needs to be taken with a meal containing at least 500 calories for your body to absorb the proper amount of the medication. Taking it on an empty stomach makes it significantly less effective. Heart Monitoring: Ziprasidone can prolong the QT interval (affect the electrical rhythm of the heart). Your doctor will likely want to check your medical or heart history before starting it. Common Side Effects: The most frequent side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, and nausea.

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
