> Hi, I am weaning off geodon and staying on Lamictal alone (my diagnosis is BP2 or 3 - at least cyclical depression) I am terrified!!!! Does ANYONE take JUST Lamictal and does that work for you?

> maryIt should be fine for you.
I have Bipolar II along with multiple other diagnoses and other undiagnosed disorders as well.
Back in 2005, until May, I used to take Geodon and Lamictal together. I took 20-40mg of Geodon and 200mg Lamictal.
Geodon was bad. It was causing me to cycle, and during a trip to Disney World back at the end of April, I almost ended up at the state hospital in Florida. I was in the ER for a few days due to suicidal ideations and bad depression mixed states. We had gone to the trip for my birthday, and this experience ruined it!!!
After we got back home, I went off the Geodon on my own in less than a week later.
I did heaps better.
I was on 200mg of Lamictal by itself then. I was more stable then.
