> I had no weight gain and a decent anti-depressant effect. Anti-psychotics are good for rapid cycling and mixed states, however, the others like zyprexa are more established. Since weight gain is a concern Geodon makes a lot of sense. High doses of Geodon are often required to be effective for depression and bipolar disorder.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the response! Sounds like Geodon might be worth a shot, though I don't like the idea of high doses. My system doesn't seem able to handle much. The tiniest dose of Topamax sends me to Idiot Land. Will keep trying, though I'm getting exasperated with this parade of meds. At least the idea that Geodon may not pack on the pounds is a comfort!
Best,
Lorelai
