What worries me about you is all these feelings you are a having are symptoms of your illness and not the effects of your medication. You don't stay on anything long and are always shifting things around. Compounding this is the fact you prefer low, sub-therapeutic doses of medication. You're never going to get a handle on your illness if you keep on going like you do. Pick a symptom and treat it. What you're left feeling may be more symptoms and not side effects of the drug. Once you determine which it is, move forward accordingly.
Get off everything and stay on 1000 mg dose of Depakote for a week then tell me how you feel. If you feel depressed, its probably a symptom. If you feel lethergic, its probably a side effect. I hope what i'm writing here is making sense to you.
Geodon is not a mood stabilizer. It is an atypical antipsychotic that antagonizes dopamine, seratonin and agonizes some seratonin receptors.
Yes it treats mania and depression, but not in a way that provides true mood stabilization.Eric
