I am on the combination of lamictal, geodon and wellbutrin. I started on lamictal and geodon and wellbutrin was added after a trip to the hospital. When I was in the hospital they started me on effexor but I didn't like the side effects. My doctor switched me to wellbutrin. That helped for 2 weeks, then I crashed again, having suicidal thoughts again. I called my Dr.s office and he hasn;t got back to me, it's been a week since I left the message, I could be dead already. So I increased my dosage myself and i am feeling much better. thats probably what he is going to do anyway.

I used to the Geodon and Lamictal. I didn't see any negative drug interactions with the combo. I did find something that worked better at controlling mood swings than the Geodon did, for me anyway; after my last trip to the hospital I couldn't deal with the depression any longer so we tapered of the Geodon and added something else. I would never give up my Lamictal, but that's just me because I have had no side effects with it.

Good luck to you in finding the right med combo.

I was on geodon and other stuff then I changed pdocs and he put m eon 250 lamictal and kept the lithium and one geodon, he doesnt like the geodon but i am doing well so he doesnt want to rock the boat.
