Saw my doc today. Even though I have been feeling pretty stable on 300mg Lithium, I have gained 10 lbs in the past 2 weeks! My doc is not pleased. He is thinking of switching me over to Geodon. He feels that in the long run I won't have the weight gain issues.
Does anyone take Geodon for mood stabilization? Does it help with slight depression?
My main issue has been inappropriate rage issues. I cannot take Lamictal and didn't get much out of Tegretol or Trileptal.
My doc is really wanting me to lose weight now that I am considered obese.
He wants me to take 40mg of Geodon in the morning along with my tiny dose of 5mg Adderall.
Then at night he wants to me take 50mg Seroquel along with Klonopin for sleep.
Will 40mg of Geodon help? I do not want to go back to my awful, mean, bitchy self.
