Maybe you should give the meds more time to work before giving up on them...oh but you said you've tried diff dosages. Hum... I'm on geodon and.it really works good. I'm on 80mg twice a day. Have you tried that one? Or a new one called latuda? Latuda has stabilized me which is great. It kinda numbs me out a bit but at least my bipolar depression has gone for now and I'm thankful. I'm not hypo manic either. Have you talked to yr pdoc about increasing the doses of what yr.on? If you can't get an appt you can leave a msg for them to call you back. Since you know what yr on works, then maybe you just need a little increase. I had to do that with my geodon. I went up twice then got at the right level. I'm so sorry it's going this way for you. Whenever I have good days I am always thanking God cause I so appreciate them. Then it won't last and it's disappointing do I understand how yr feeling. Take care of yr self. Be kind to yr self.

Geodon is one of the medicines i'm on. I take 80 mg at night. It makes me extremely tired which is a good reason why im on it because when i'm manic i can go days without sleeping, but I have to keep my full time job, i don't know how i've managed to do so but i have and with that I have to be up and at work early and I take the geodon about an hour and 15 min after i get off work so i can be able to function enough to drive into work the next morning for the drive at 6 am. my life is work and bed with the exception of my doctors appt every week. the mixture of meds that i was on, the lithium, depakote, and geodon was doing really well for that last week but my guess is it's time to up everything again or figure out what's causing the instability all over again. everything is working against each other with the different illnesses. i was happy to have those few days I just had.
