Fire Star... I was on a cocktail of Celexa, Klonopin, and Trileptal and gained 45 lbs in 9 months and felt awful. Since starting on anti-psychotics I gained 80 lbs total even though I try to keep caloric and carb intake down.

My new p-doc put me on a combination of Geodon (ziprasidone HCl) and Lamotrigine and I have lost 22 lbs in 3 months. Maybe you could speak to your p-doc about a new cocktail.

Peace
