Since the 120mg of Geodon does keep me stable, but blah feeling, I kind of feel flat and depressed. I have tried going down on my dose to 100mg or even 80mg, and feel a little more alert, but still feel a little underlying depression - probably from the drop in dose.
My insurance only like generics of antidepressants so my doc suggested generic Celexa (which made me gain 30 lbs about 8 years ago), so I won't be getting that filled.
I seem to remember getting an antidepressant feel from low dose lithium.
Since I am concerned about the heart issues with Geodon, would low dosing both be an option? I know some docs are big on low dose combos to reach an effect.
I was hoping if I lowered my Geodon, maybe that would lower my risk of doing damage to my heart. Don't know if that is true though.
Since I can't take Lamictal or Wellbutrin, would low dose (150 - 300mg) Lithium in combo with Geodon help?
I hate the side effects of antidepressants, but feel like I need something. 120mg of Geodon is making me too flat and maybe causing some depression?
Would a lower dose of Geodon cut my risk of doing damage to my heart?
