> Why did you decide to go down on cymbalta?
because both geodon and cymbalta have serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake properties.
cymbalta was killing my sexual response. I felt stable and anti-depressed but changes needed to be made.
the combination of seroquel and geodon pretty much sent my gut on a 2 week vacation. There wasn't much work being done on the digestive end of things... um yeah. (blushing)
>I wonder if geodon maybe isn't as effective for you as seroquel was.
Yep. a distinct possibility...
>An out-on-limb speculation, would it be safe or desirable to try seroquel again, but with an appetite suppressent med of some sort along with it? Would that work, I wonder? Or was it more that seroquel messed with your metabolism?
I was hoping to take FEWER drugs, not more drugs. :( I think seroquel gave me munchies for sweets and carbs in particular, and I worry about it increasing my risk for diabetes, which affects both my parents. I used to have pretty abrupt drops in blood sugar, and that hasn't been a problem since I've been off the seroquel.
I'm gonna push for a higher dose of geodon first. especially since I haven't been taking as much of my BZD as doc tells me to (bad llurpsie) I better go take another tablet so that I can meet my quota of calm karma before I turn into a pumpkin at midnight.
> I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well.
Thanks laima, was that you who left the fudge bar in my freezer? :)
