I will wait with the Wellbutrin then and just mention going off Geodon. Prozac works perfectly well for me and the dose is low - but apparently I get a slight tremor from it. Not horrible though - not like with Depakote in the past.

Prozac was the first AD tried and it worked after something like 4 days. I later thought it was serendipity that my then p-doc guessed it right on the first try. Back when she prescribed it, I had no hope that it would work, but it did.

The thing is... if I stay on Prozac, then I would eventually (not now) be asking for WB as a diet pill (thanks Venus for calling a spade a spade). Would a p-doc allow that kind of use?

Zyprexa/Seroquel would both be meds that I have tried. I do remember sleeping soundly on Seroquel, but I do not remember whether I gained weight - life was too stressful back then to notice. That is why I was asking around for people's experiences. Zyprexa clearly causes weight gain. Even with using it for a week or so.
