So most of the time this regimen:
20 mg of Geodon with breakfast
75 mg of Seroquel and 1200 mg of Gabapentin at bedtime
works.
Once I stayed up too late which makes is very difficult for me to fall asleep and then I took Zyprexa 5 mg as a rescue medicine.
But most of the time it is enough and I would say that on most days, although not on all, I need less sleep than I needed when I was on Latuda.
So we will continue the trial. It is too early still to say with confidence whether this is the combo that will carry the day long term. I am hopeful.
