In reply to question on Antipsycotics and Mood stabilizers, posted by shadows721 on February 17, 2004, at 15:05:26
I was able to come off of my antidepressant (celexa) after I reached a therapeutic level on lamictal. For me, it has had antidepressant effects. My primary reason for switching to lamictal was weight gain from Zyprexa. I currently take Geodon as an antipsychotic. I have lost a whole bunch of weight since starting this combo.
The weight gain and sexual side effects with SSRIs and some antipsychotics are really depressing...seems counterproductive to me.
Good luck,
Girl
