SunniBunni,
See below for my responses to your post...
> Thank you so very much for your responce.
You're welcome.
> I used to be a big scary movie fanatic. I Cant watch any show now with gore. The reason being that I have these scary thoughts about my loved ones getting hurt or even dying in a way that I have seen in a movie or heard about. I have never really had a problem like this I have the depression, mood swings, and even some OCD. I am not skitsophrenic and actually consider my self as somewhat strong coming out of some very tough past experiences. I am only nineteen years old, and have a lot of oppurtunties ahead for me. So, it is bound to be just a sideeffct. Right?
It sounds like the scary thoughts that you described may essentially be a side effect of one or more of the meds that you're taking, especially considering that you said you never had this problem in the past. It does make sense that eliminating the culprit could allow you to enjoy the benefits of your meds without having to endure the scary thoughts, assuming that the culprit isn't also having therapeutic effects.
> What med would you think between the (Seroquil-200mg., Geodon 40mg, Lamactil 50mg so far,Binzotropine 2mg, and my vistarals) could be dropped and still give me a poitive result without the creepy effects?
I'm not an expert on the matter (in other words, not a psychiatrist), but my inclination would be to try dropping either the Seroquel or the Geodon under the guidance of your doctor. I think that it would be best to discontinue the meds one at a time (assuming that you discontinue both antipsychotics) so that you'll have some idea as to which medication was bringing on the scary thoughts if and when you stop experiencing them. As far as alternatives to Seroquel and/or Geodon go, I would take heed of some of the suggestions that Bleauberry made in his post.
> I mean it does seem to be an awful lot of meds. especilly for my age?
Yes, it does sound like a lot, especially with the two antipsychotics that you're taking.
