My psychiatrist wants to put me back on it to give it another try.
Aren’t you the one who is on Abilify? I’m on abilify and it has anti-depressant properties. While Geodon treats mania as far as Bipolar goes. I’m trying to understand this stuff myself.
Yes, I’m on Abilify, Seroquel, Prozac and Clonidine.
If I’m correct, I think that adding Geodon would counteract the Abilify. Did you say previously that you feel ok? You’re on a lot of meds.
I feel pretty good. I want to function well on just 1 antipsychotic at the lowest dose possible soon.
Great… I think that’s what a lot of us wish for. And I’m not a doctor but just trying to figure out my own current cocktail as well. My gut reaction is that your on a lot right now.
I think my Seroquel is too high at 400mg. I think I’d be fine with just about 200mg or less. Abilify is only 5mg, Prozac is only 20mg and Clonidine is only 0.1mg so they seem to be an alright feeling combination.
Ok good. I still have a slight insomnia side effect. I’ve been on Lexapro since 2005 and am so used to it that I forget to bring it up.
I don’t think depression is my issue, it’s to treat anxiety. Abilify also treats depression and I don’t think I need that. It worked for a friend but it was silly to make the decision based on that.
Your post caught my eye bc I just looked up Geodon and it made me think about it all.
I’m on Geodon, Seroquel, Risperdal Consta, Celexa and Klonipin. And they all work great.
How much Geodon & Seroquel?
240 mg a day of Geodon, 200 mg of Seroquel every night, Risperdal Consta 37.5 mg injectable every two weeks, Celexa 20 mg every day, and Klonipin 0.5 mg twice a day, as needed. My pdoc told me that my most important med is the Risperdal Consta.
