Yes, that's correct.
She gave me samples of 20mg Geodon and knew that I still had 40mgs at home too. She also knew that I have Trileptal, if I needed it.
I deceided to just stick with Geodon at first and try to find a dose that worked BEFORE I added anything else, like Trileptal, IF I needed it.
She gave me Klonopin (1mg. 3 a day). I usually only need 2mg in the evening. Been taking that for several years.
She mentioned Ritalin, but I told her I didn't like it and I liked the extended release Adderall 5mg. She doesn't know yet that I've taken it. But my regular doc thinks I need at least 10mg of Adderall. Nope. 5mg is enough for me.
**Is is safe to take 80mg Geodon, 5mg Adderall and 2mg Klonopin at night? Perhaps I should switch the klonopin out with Trileptal at night and I would fall asleep better?**
So, I see her later this week and we'll review what is working.
I was curious if anyone knew why the big difference in the way Geodon works (see my above posts) and if its ok to take 5mg Adderall for a boost.
It scares me how totally knocked out, almost unwakable, 40 or 60mg of Geodon makes me.
It's not like I'm taking Klonopin to "come down". I don't take Adderall everyday and when I do, the 5mg wears off in late afternoon.
**By the way, my husband loves having back the woman he married 15 years ago**. I know I feel good, but I didn't know anyone else could tell. It's a nice confirmation when others notice!
