I really need my meds adjusted. I am worried about starting anything new. I think an antidepressant would help a lot, but I don't want to gain any weight. So my only options are to increase the meds I'm already on. I take geodone 60 in the morning and 80 at night. My doctor has tried twice to raise the 60 to an 80, but I can not physically function on 80 in the morning. It makes me too tired. Even the 60 can be tricky but I manage. So I'm wondering if there is a 100 tablet? I think just 20 mil would make a difference.
Also, has anyone ever tried going above 200 on lamictal? My nightmares and night terrors seem to have disappeared, but I've heard some people get reactions from going over 200. I have Ativan for my anxiety, but I only get 3 a week and it took a long time just to get him to prescribe that. So I'm not even going to ask him to adjust that. I'm really desperate for some relief. I see my doctor next week. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

Geodon does not come in 100 mg (20, 40, 60, 80 mg only). My doc just adds 20 mg more to whatever dose if I need slight adjustments.
I hope you find what works best for you soon. ![]()

I take 500mg of Lamictal. It works really well for me.

I also take 40mg twice daily of Geodon. It seems to be helping also. I'm afraid of going up on it. I already crave sweets in the evening after taking it and I don't want that to get worse.

Wow that's a big dose of lamictal one of the highest I have heard of.
