Actually, after not sleeping for 3 nights I added back 150mg of Trileptal at bedtime and am finally getting sleep!
You're right, even 150mg of Depakote made me depressed so I had to add back low dose Geodon.
I'm on pediatric dosing and it seems to work. My combo is goofy now: 40mg Geodon, 150mg Depakote and 150mg Trileptal. But it's working. I didn't really know how much the Geodon helped my depression, but it works.
I consulted with my old neurologist and he said that I should go up to 1200mg on the Trileptal instead of the 600mg I was originally on with him if the pain and swelling didn't go away! This makes absolutely no sense to me. If 300mg causes pain and swelling, why would I up the dose and figure the pain and swelling would go away?
My pdoc knows how sensitive my body is and works with me.
A little bit of everything and no side effects.
