In reply to Antidepressant to Geodon..., posted by Sheilac on October 12, 2011, at 16:14:35

Sheila,

If 150-300mg of lithium might give you a lift, why not try that? To me that seems safe, though did you have side effects from 450 lithium? I can't recall what your dosage was before.

How long until the antidepressant effects of lithium are felt?

There is also lexapro. I don't know how that would differ for you regarding weight gain or tolerability. Did Celexa work okay for you mood wise?

Seems you have worked hard to stabilize on geodon. I'm sorry to hear you are feeling flat. I was feeling flat on risperdone a little while back but was encouraged by people here and my pdoc to preserve, and I am glad I did because I have gotten used to feeling less intensely and have also 'recovered', somehow, from the overbearing feeling of
flatness. Our situations are very different, of course.

I really like feeling more stable.
