Hi Eric,

How about lowering your Geodon dose? According to Stahl high doses such as 160mg can be effective for very rapid cycling, but to get antidepressant effect a lower dose is recommended (20mg-40mg BID). The NE reuptake inhibition takes a while to kick though.

Small dose of Wellbutrin SR?

How is the Keppra working for you? Maybe you could augment it with stabilizers with a higher AD profile such as gabapentin or Lamictal or even LYrica.

How about increasing the dose of Brintellix?

Tricky diagnosis..
