Thanks both of you for your input.
I decided to increase my Geodon to 60 mg/day and I took an extra 5 mg. zyprexa for good measure. I still feel depressed/agitated/anxiety/racing thoughts but at this point it's tolerable.
My pdoc basically said that it's not well understood, but higher doses of Geodon have better tolerability than lower doses. I'm titrating up slowly because of my last failed dozen or so drug trials. It would be fair to say I'm a little phobic of anything at a high dose.
I think what's going on definitely warrants a call to my pdoc. I will call on Monday.
I will talk to my pdoc about a mood stabilizer. Depakote may be a good way to go. I am a little phobic since I'm prone to sedation and mal effects fron these drugs.
