I saw my pdoc today and he suggested maybe adding another mood stabilizer to bring me down a little. I get angry when I'm getting manic and decreasing the Lamictal didn't quite do the trick and he doesn't want to get rid of it completely because it does help with the depression. I'm currently also taking Geodon. What is similar to Geodon that I can look into? And how has it been for you? I also have to pay for the meds out of pocket because my Medi-Cal share of cost is outrageous right now.

He also said that summer generally tends to make people more manic, like winter brings on depression. So maybe it would only be for a few months? I'm going to try taking Ativan every 8 hours as needed to see if that helps. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
