Oh, I forgot that you hadn't started the Geodon yet (I'm crazy, forgive me) :)
Let's see...I started the Geodon/Lamictal combo probably right after Thanksgiving and I've lost 35 pounds since. I know that a lot of people will say that's too much too fast...but I haven't felt this good about myself in a very long time and I'm not at all concerned.
I am feeling great without the Celexa. My doc and I have always debated whether someone with a history of mania should be on an antidepressant as maintenance therapy and we're now in agreement that it was the right thing to do. The lamictal has antidepressant properties for me and I guess that's all I need.
It's been very helpful for me to read the posts here about different medications, but you're 100% right, everyone is different and you sometimes have to try things to figure out what's going to work.
About the sexual side effects, I definitely feel more interested than I did on my Zyprexa/Celexa combo.
Is your doc opposed to trying Geodon because it's new?
