[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 611814, member: 2196"] Well I was proven right once again cause I skipped the Seroquel last night and gave her the full dose of Geodon along with melatonin just in case, and she slept great. It is obviously the reduction in Geodon that was causing her horrible insomnia. I am going to keep her on 80 milligrams of Geodon and make another appointment with psychiatrist to see what we can do about the anxiety. I know that with me, antidepressants worked wonderfully for years for my anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Unfortunately at my age, they have all pooped out on me so now I'm going the therapy route. For her I think trialing an AD would be a better option than suddenly switching antipsychotics. She is also getting loads of therapy at her new school, which she absolutely loves. Yayyy! She only missed one day this week, and that was the day she fell asleep at 3:30 a.m. the night before. Other than that, she has gotten up and gotten ready and hasn't complained or tried to get out of going at all whatsoever. The true test will be next Thursday. That will be the day the bus will begin to pick her up from the house and take her. Till then my mom is taking her to school every day. We shall see how she does on her own. I am hoping and praying she is able to get herself up and get on that bus! She is telling me this school is ten times better than the school she was at, so I am hoping that will be a good motivator!
