medication

thank you for the info on Lamictal, but does anyone take Geodon? I take 40mg Geodon and Lamictal. I do feel so much better,but i was wondering more about the Geodon side effects. I feel alittle more anixous im wondering if it is the Geodon.

I was on Risperdal first for almost 15 yrs and developed granulomas ( nasty ringworm looking spots), and became prediabetic, then went on Geodon a for 1 expensive year and developed psuedo parkinsonism and had to quit it too. Lamictal was a no go also and I now am on Tegretol

i was on geodon and it made me manic then extremely depressed. i would feel very euphoric and then angry and then depressed. it is very sedative! i also tried lamactial, twice, and each time it gave me a horrible rash! but i hear it's the best out there. which make me sad that it didn't work for me.

I have taken both Geodon and Lamital. The Geodon did not seem to help me so I was taken off of it. Be careful, with the Lamital because of a rash that can develop rarely which I was told by my psych that it could be deadly. I developed this rash and was immediately taken off the Lamital.

I take 80mg of Geodon.  I have been for a long time.  I really respond to it.  I get tired from Geodon.  So I take it at night.  Other than that, I have no side effects.  Same with Lamictal.  I take that also.  Anti-psychotics tend to be on the more sedative side.  Geodon can cause mania in some people so just watch out for that.  But like I said, it is usually more sedative.  :)
