I finally saw my Pdoc today and told her about my heart arrhythmia and she said she couldn't give me any of the AAPs.
I told her my regular MD wanted me off Geodon as well.
She wants me to try 200mg of Tegretol at bedtime for 3 days, then 200mg 2x a day for 2 weeks then get bloodwork done and go back to see her.
It's cheap and generic! That is a plus.
I wonder if it will help with the depression. She seemed to think it would. We'll see.
I'm glad I saw her because I just didn't want to go back to the issues I had with Lithium (constant salty taste, weight gain, face breakouts, etc.)
Anyone good on Tegretol? Does it help with depression? Help with sleep?
