Mypdoc said I came under the mark for what she considers "bipolar disorder" but she is still treating me for it.

I don't know anything about Geodon, but wanted to say hi and welcome to the board. You'll find a multitude of advice and friends too!

I am on 400 mg of Lamictal, 60 mg of Prozac, Ambien to sleep and Xanax 4 times a day. Currently I am in a really down mode - had a tdoc appt and she told me to make sure I take my xanax even if I have to double it. I am crying all the time, and it makes it worse knowing it's stressing out my 10 year old son. I also have moments where I don't get the mail for 3 or 4 days because of not wanting to leave the house. I'm currently in that mode.

I feel for you, and if I can be of any help, or you just want to chat, leave me a message -- I'm around a lot.

Geodon made me very sleepy and did not work well. When the dosage was increased the first time, I started having very serious night terrors and had to stop taking it. I was scared I would hurt myself or dh at night.

Just letting you know what it did for me. Hope it works better for you.
