Lamictal and started Geodon for weight purposes
how does it work? Are there many side effects? Did help with your BP depression? I'd really appreciate some answers. Thanks.

Re: Lamictal and started Geodon for weight purposes
I was on Lamectial for over a year and really packed on the pounds. I switched to Geodon and I've lost a lot of the weight. I haven't noticed a real change in my BP. I think they both kinda work the same.

I'm also on Gedon and Lamictal and have been for the last three years. I haven't experienced any side effects.

Re: Lamictal and started Geodon for weight purposes
Turns out the slight weight gain I've noticed is from the Seroquel...so my Pdoc is weaning me off of that while is upping the Lamictal.
