In reply to Parnate + Geodon safe?, posted by Scatterbrained on May 5, 2014, at 21:06:39
> My doctor seems to think all atypicals are safe with maois but from what I read geodon more or less works as an SNRI combined with a neuroleptic. Definitely don't want to get into a toxic reaction . Does anybody have any insight into this?

I have tried going up on the geodon but it makes me sleep too long (I'm very sensitive to meds).
I had very good results with the combo at first - decreased anxiety, decreased depression to the point where I could actually feel and sustain other emotions. It was great. Over time though the effects have worn off and it's back to the drawing board again.
I did have a particularly horrific interaction recently between parnate and latuda, but I notice that others seem to be taking that combo with no bad effects - so I think it's really just a matter of your own personal biochemistry and what's going to work for you.
