In reply to Geodon add on?, posted by Sheilac on August 8, 2015, at 9:14:14
I take trileptal. I think its probably safer, over the long haul, than depakote. Less blood work, anyway.
I think Geodon has some built-in antidepressant stuff going on, like reuptake inhibition of...something (not a doc, clearly). Anyway, if you up the dose, you'll get more tranquilizer action, but I would think you might also get more antidepressant stuff, too...add that to Adderall and you can get stimulation. That's my wild *ss guess, anyway.
Trileptal works well for me w/ Abilify. I think many people find it more tolerable than Depakote. I think Trileptal is used for both benzo tapering and anger issues, so...yeah...maybe something to look into. There's a new once daily version that may or may not be what you're after.
Ummm...other than that...there's lamictal. Some people get mood changes under control with antidepressants. Me, Wellbutrin stabilized some of my "moodiness" that was really just shifting depression (if that makes sense). Maybe that's something to consider? I mean...wellbutrin might be more tolerable than an SSRI.
Is lyrica used for neuropathy?
Anyway, good luck to you.
