Since Tegretol rocks, but isn't helping the sleep or depression, my doc suggested either adding low dose Geodon to see if it would help with sleep & depression. I'm kind of reluctant since I just now stopped twitching from being on a Geodon for so many years.
Or, she suggested using Seroquel for sleep and low dose Lamictal for depression.
I guess I'm having a hard time with being on a combo of meds to treat my mixed BP. I hate it, but I need sleep and relief from depression.
I think low dose Lamictal would help much better for depression than Geodon. And I know Seroquel gives great sleep.
I'm just not sure I can go back to the twitching on Geodon, plus it doesn't lift the depression like Lamictal.
Is my thinking right? To twitch or to take 3 meds. I'm i missing something? Right now I'm only on Tegretol.
I've always had a hard time grasping the combo thing. Why can't it just be more simple.
