New Medication

[KC77]

I am new to this site and I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about mixing the medicine Lithium and Geodon?  I have been taking Lithium for almost 3 years now and it has helped me so much, but I feel the effects are not as helpful as they once were.  My psych. added Geodon to the mix and I had a horrible experience!  I was crying one minute and angry the next.  I hadn't self-injured for a long time and I did last week.  I called my Dr. and told him I was not going to take this medication anymore.  It took approximately 3 days for it to get out of my system and I feel MUCH better.  But I am still too manic a lot of the time.  I am so sensitive to medication...I have now tried 14 of them.  Any suggestions?

I have been on both meds I had a bad experience with Lithium which was I got so I could not walk and had to be taken to the hospital. The other drug you asked about Geodon it did not work for me. I was not on both medicines together though. I can not help you any futher. Good luck!
