Added Geodon / trazodone to Depakote / alprazolam Er Posted: 06-01-07 21:25pm
hello
i have been tested and told i have the
following:
1. bipolar 1 mixed and rapid cycling
2. borderline p d
3. panic disorder with agoraphobia
4. gad
5. ocd
6. antisocial p d
7. pmdd
8. chronic insomnia (possibly med
related)
i just started seeing a new psychiatrist
and this is what i am now taking:
1. geodon - 20 mg once a day
2. trazodone - 100 mg at bedtime
3. depakote - 125 mg 3 times a day
4. alprazolam er - 1 mg 3 times a day
my doctor wants me to add 20 mg of geodon
per week until i get to a point where i
feel good and to go up to 150 mg of
trazodone if i feel the need.
she said to take the geodon at night but i
have heard it can cause or worsen insomnia
which i do not need. but she said i will
sleep through any side effects taking it
at night.
has anyone here ever taken this combo or a
couple of these medications at the same
time? i just would like to know if there
are others that have used all or some of
these meds and what it was like for you.
also what time of day you took them.
especially the geodon.
