> Saw my doc today. Even though I have been feeling pretty stable on 300mg Lithium, I have gained 10 lbs in the past 2 weeks! My doc is not pleased. He is thinking of switching me over to Geodon. He feels that in the long run I won't have the weight gain issues.

> Does anyone take Geodon for mood stabilization? Does it help with slight depression?Good for mood stabilization, was depression neutral for me.
> My main issue has been inappropriate rage issues. I cannot take Lamictal and didn't get much out of Tegretol or Trileptal.I can't imagine working up any kind of rage on Geodon, but that may be me.
> My doc is really wanting me to lose weight now that I am considered obese.Was weight neutral for me.
> He wants me to take 40mg of Geodon in the morning along with my tiny dose of 5mg Adderall.

> Then at night he wants to me take 50mg Seroquel along with Klonopin for sleep.You'll need it with Geodon!
> Will 40mg of Geodon help? I do not want to go back to my awful, mean, bitchy self.I didn't feel bitchy at all (less than usual if that helps)
I did notice anxiety which is not usual for me.
Good luck,
