Hi Sheila.

> Actually, I've been taking 80mg Geodon for a while now. I did try lowering it for a night here and there to see if it would help with sleep, but 80mg is my dose.

I'm glad you found your optimum dosage of Geodon. I do think that it would be worth considering staying on Trileptal 1200 mg/day long-term in order to stabilize your psychobiology and perhaps prevent drug-induced mania. Do you think that you would be able to take Lamictal with the higher dosage of Trileptal? Just a thought.

Between Abilify and Geodon, I would use the one you like best. It is that simple. That will, of course, take some experimentation and adherence to a treatment plan.

One can gain weight with Abilify. I have. However, the improvement in my condition is worth the extra pounds. For me, the ideal dosage of Abilify is 10 mg/day.

Honestly, can you say that you were in complete remission with the Geodon? If so, why change? If not, it would be interesting to see how the Abilify treats you. It sounds like you have a good doctor.
