It's unusual, but not unheard-of for a person to be on multiple anti-psychotics. Like the above poster said, they each have different effects on the brain and do different things. I'm on Geodon mainly for sleep and mania, and Zyprexa for anxiety and mixed episodes.

I was hoping to come off of APs at some point because nobody really wants to be on them forever, but it's not looking very good because they WORK. Zyprexa especially is the drug that pulls everything else together. I still have mild breakthrough mood episodes, but they are nothing compared with what I used to experience. Guess I'll have to worry about the long-term effects if/when I get there.

Hopefully you won't need to be on 3 APs for long. Wishing you well.
