I'm not sure what your situation entails. I'm on two anti-psychotics because they attack different parts of the problem---Geodon helps me sleep better, while Zyprexa manages my mania and anxiety better than the Geodon. It's not unheard-of to double up on APs. Believe me, you have a lot of company.....many of us are on 4-5+ meds for bipolar and related illnesses. Good luck.
