> do you have bipolar disorder? just noticing the 2 APs, AD, and benzo- but no traditional MS- have you tried them all? usually a symptom that starts 3 days after starting a new med can be attributed to that med (geodon). I'm dxed with BP 1 and cannot take any AD w/o experiencing mania- since you are depressed, have you ever tried lamictal?
> take care, judyWell, my pdoc says I have bipolar and borderline traits. As far as drugs, I've tried a lot. I have tolerance issues and AD's are pretty much out. I don't get manias on AD's, I just get the lovely side effects. Unfortnately I tried Lamictal and had tolerance issues. Next time I talk to my pdoc it will be about Depakote, and maybe a stimulant to negate the sedation if it occurrs.
Thanks,
