I am wondering if anybody on here is taking more than 160 mg of Geodon.

I currently take 160 mg plus 600 mg of Lithium plus 1.25 mg of Zyprexa for sleep. Lithium is giving me a whole list of problems and apparently my kidneys have started to suffer. My neurologist wants me to stop Lithium. My Lithium level is below the therapeutic range by a bit. I want to propose to the pdoc that we lower the Lithium and increase the Geodon (to which I have no side effects whatsoever, which is remarkable), but that would mean taking more than the maximum dosage. I did see mentions of such use off-label...
