Actually, I've been taking 80mg Geodon for a while now. I did try lowering it for a night here and there to see if it would help with sleep, but 80mg is my dose.
I have had to raise Trileptal due to the steroid shots.
No, I don't think 3 days of Abilify is a fair trial. But is Abilify better than Geodon? People tell me I'll gain weight with Abilify, so why change?
Right now, I haven't stopped any meds, only added 5mg Abilify.
I see your point. That's a huge problem for me since July when I stopped my meds - as people stupidly do. I've been trying to get back to my base of Trileptal, Klonopin and Geodon. The only thing the doc wanted to change - in time - is going off Geodon and he started me on Abilify 3 days ago.
What are your thoughts on Abilify vs Geodon? Weight gain?
