Hi, thanks for all the replies!
if it's any consolation the side effects seem to be wearing off - i am less irritable but having real sleep problems. At the same time, i have been waking on and off throughout the night for three years, most likely due to taking Sulpiride 800mg per night. I am hoping to change to Geodon in the New Year.
I reckon it's worth waiting for the effects of Lamictal to kick in. Am less depressed - not obsessed by suicidal thoughts.
I found Lorazepam (Ativan) helps with the anxiety but have only taken it once or twice. The edginess seems to have worn off though and I am feeling more mellow and benign on the Lamictal.
Hopefully I'll stay this way!
Good luck to you all. God knows being a pharmaceutical guinea-pig is a major pain..B
