Geodon has kept me stable for a while! Yea!
But I am wondering if anyone taking Geodon has added an antidepressant to their mix?
I can't rely on Adderall as an antidepressant - plus it can make my mood unstable. I know an antidepressant can too.
Wellbutrin makes me manic, so that's out.
I am wondering if a small dose of Prozac or something else added to Geodon would help with the flat, blah, slight depression. Great to be stable finally, but need a little more help.

I would think adding an antidepressant might make things worse, but I don't know. Antidepressants (especially reuptake inhibitors) have a way of making people feel "blah" over the long haul. I know that when I added Celexa to my Abilify, I felt over-tranquilized and apathetic. You also have to worry about changing blood levels of your other meds, so its kind of tricky from a practical standpoint.

Celexa caused me to feel horrible. Something stimulating. For me prozac was very stimulating and some same zoloft is? Phillipa

I'm guessing my doc might add back a low dose of Prozac. It seemed to work in the past and I did find it activating, so maybe it could take the place of the Adderall.
I don't need to be any more sedated!

have you considered cymbalta as it doesn't seem to sedate --it is an ssnri
