I'm glad to hear things improving BipolaRNurse.

Geodon is Zeldox in Australia. Im on it. Best AP I have ever been on, but I discovered this month that I cant go off it without being inpatient. As far as I know Latuda isnt available in Oz. My meds cost me $5.90 a box, unless I have messed up with reporting (which happens a few times a year) or if they arnt on the PBS (Lamictal is only on the PBS if your doc lies and says its for epilepsy. I was on it for years like that but changed docs and the new one wouldnt lie - I dont blame him. Zeldox has proven more effective for me anyway).
I wish I had Zyprexa this month!! Really needed it. I miss the relief those wafers bring. Had to stick with seroquel though, not nearly as good.
