Actually, I am using Geodon as my mood stabilizer and it is working! I tried Depakote and Lithium and they made me depressed. I feel like I have tried all of them. Currently, I am taking 80mg Geodon, 1.5mg Klonopin and 10mg Adderall.

We'll see how things are in a week on this combo.

My doc did say that we have A LOT of room to play on the Geodon. So far, it is the ONLY med that has really helped my mood. It takes away the agitated irritability I have with my BP.

Plus, I am prone to low moods, so the Adderall and actually the Geodon help with that.

I have tried Lamictal (it broke my mouth out in ulcers), Trileptal, Tegretol, Depakote, Ability, Lithium, etc.

It's pretty bad when Lithium depresses you.
