What kind of dosage was he taking of the Geodon and Zyprexa? Can't remember is you said how much Prozac he is taking?

People can respond very differently to the various meds and varied dosage. I took Geodon for depression, intense anxiety and rumination--it helped but my head was in a fog. I now take Abilify--another atypical antipsychotic, and feel much better, after some initial problems with side effects, they subsided and now I have no side effects.

Another class of drugs to ask the doctors about are mood stabilizers. Lamictal, for instance, supposedly helps quite a bit with depression--might help him from falling into those lows.

Just some thoughts...

It could unfortunately be quite the process to find what helps him the most, like Maxime said he is ahead in the game because you are there to help him.
