I am currently on 160 mg Geodon, 1000 mg Depakote, and 30 mg adderall. Each time I start a new combo, everything seems better for a while. Then my pdoc has to increase the dose so they remain effective b/c the symptoms creep back. When the doses are increased, I become zombie-like. I really hope there's something out there that will work for me without all the zombie-like side effects. Without the meds, I am intensely paranoid, anxious, and I hear voices and see things. I can't function well, but which is worse? The symptoms or the med side effects?
