It would be a shame if you were to skip over a drug that would work based upon a theory. With Geodon, it is important to START at 40mg. Anything less will produce anxiety and agitation. The effective dosage range of Geodon for depression (and negative symproms) is 40-80mg. For psychosis, the dosage is more like 120mg.

yesterday I went to my pdoc , and he perscribed me Lexapro and sertindole
I tried to take Lexapro 5 mg and it has intersting effect compare to 5-HTP
It seems to decrease anxiety and OCD that I aperntly had, and it increases my concentration and alertness , though it has negative effect on my libido and ability to have an erection...
Now, When I add risperone to Lexapro I don't have the so negative effects on the mood and I enjoyed its benefits(risperdone alone made me depressed and wanting to kill myself)
I am going to try sertindole "alone", without Lexapro , and see how it feels...I prefer not to stay on ssri's..
