> So, what are your thoughts on using an AAP for maintenance? Bad plan long term?I have used 600 mg Seroquel (quetiapine) since December 2006, and I have no long term harmful effects. If 60 or 80 mg Geodon works for you against irritability and anger, I think it's worth trying.
There are interactions between antiepileptic and antipsychotic drugs. I don't know how it is specifically with the Trileptal/Geodon combo, but the plasma levels of antipsychotics may be significantly decreased by Trileptal. Have you used Trileptal and Geodon together?
