[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 173219, member: 1498"] I think the doctor's target medication regime is a whole lot better than what she's on now but I can understand your being upset about the way he's going about it. Doubling her one antidepressant while reducing the other probably won't do a whole lot of good in the long run. Is the double dose of Trazadone a temporary thing to help her sleep? Is she going to stay on it? If it is, as I have suspected all along, antidepressant induced mania, eliminating the Lexapro should reduce the mania. Doubling the Trazadone could prevent that from happening. Again, if it is antidepressant induced mania, the double dose of the Geodon, the lithium and even the Lamictal may not be necessary once she's off the antidepressant[B]s[/B] for a while. If he thinks she has bipolar, the Lamictal would be my choice -- no blood draws, no weight gain, no cognitive dulling, a day's dose can be taken in the morning and it works. [/QUOTE]
