Oh heck no. You are the copyright holder can do whatever you want in
regards to your code. The version released under GPL is something that
you can't take back. Other can take it, use, modify, distribute, etc.
all under the terms of the GPL license you released it under. BUT you
can turn around and take the same code and release under another
license, or even sell it someone else.

The thing to remember that you as the original copyright holder are NOT
bound by the GPL. Everyone else using your GPL'ed code IS bound it.
