Hi- I'm in the process of switching from risperdal to geodon to augment the 60mg of celexa I currently take. The Celexa works fine on the depression but did nothing for irritability and obsessions (very serious obsessions). Hoping the geodon will work but not having much luck so far (10 days in- feel worse, not better). I probably need to give it more time, but I want to be one step ahead of the game here. Tried neurontin- didn't work on obsessions. Risperdal worked great but gained 60 pounds. My pdoc suggested low-dose seroquel if the geodon doesn't work out. Anyone? I've also heard Anafranil (clomipramine) works great for OCD and I had a very favorable response to another TCA- imipramine. I was on it for 11 years before the obsessions drove me into a major depression. I'd love some feedback. Oh- I should add that I have ADD and the Celexa has turned it into a problem- there is evidence that SSRI's aggravate ADD and this has been the case for me so I'd be hesitant to try another SSRI (and I tried Prozac- God was I anxious on that stuff- couldn't eat a thing). Thanks.
