I have decreased my Geodon b/c of nasty akasthesia and trouble breathing (scary side effects). I am seeing my doctor on Wednesday and want to discuss adding or replacing the low of Geodon with a mood stabilizer. I want to stay away from antipsychotics if possible. I tried Lamictal several years ago and it improved my mood but I stopped due to extreme hair loss. I am wondering about Trileptal. Does anyone here take it and has it helped you? Thanks!
