Geodon is an atypical antipsychotic which stabilizes mood by tamping down mania (at least, it works that way for me). As for the Lamictal, DON'T change your dose without your pdoc's knowledge or approval......if you're stable, it's
because the meds are working. IOW, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
