I also wanted to know why Geodon was prescribed and how you responded to it initally. Also what dose were you started on and what was the progression of increases?
I just reluctantly (fearfully) started Geodon at a low dose of 20 mg. My initial response is almost immediate somnolence so there's no way I would go higher even 20 mg may not even be consider a "therapeutic" dose. But it all depends on what the drug was initiated for, what symptoms and how your initial response was to it.
My thinking about all of this depression stuff is we are started at doses that are way too high ("therapeutic") to begin with. My focus would be on decresing the Geodon if possible not increasing Adderall.
There's too many side effects to these meds to mix multiple meds and exceed doses that have not been tested. This is where bad results start to occur.
Best.

P.S. I also take Adderall 30 mg XR, Wellbutrin 150 mg and Celexa 40 mg.
