so hopefully either tomorrow or the next day i'll get to see the doctor.
right ow i'm taking:
300mg trazodone
80mg geodon twice a day
1mg klonopin twice a day
wellbutrin300mg
paxil once a day
and something that's sopossed to stop the urges for alcohal (but doesn't)

i think part of the reason why i feel so much like crap is a lot of my meds have stoped working.

so i want them changed.

i know i want off the geodon and the welbutrin. and maybe raise the paxil. and have the alcohal one uped some. i'd like more klonopin, but when i was taking three a day, it just didn't seem to work out too well. and i'm fine with the 300mg of trazodone.

any sugestions as to what i should ask my doctor to give me???

" I dont actually recommend upping the Paxil, likely to kick in mania...

I posted to ZBee about my daughter, who was on a similar mix to what you said you are taking, inc. Geodon, when she was changed to Neurontin to address anxiety and a mood stabilizer. She is weaning down from Lithium and is on week 4 of Lamictal. The Lamictal takes several weeks to build up.
She is doing much better now. Geodon, Zyprexa, Seroquel... all the atypical antispychotics made her too sedated and did nothing for anxiety. She was also on wellbutrin, but that wasnt doing much either.
So, I would ask about Neuronton for anxiety/additional mood stabilizing, and Lamictal... "
