What Causes Severe Insomnia After Weaning Off Depakote?

I recently was able to withdraw from Depakote (after 10 months) but am still taking 100mg twice a day of Geodon for diagnosed Schizo-affective disorder. Is it necessary to supplement Geodon if I have no symptoms of depression? I have had severe insomnia since coming off of Depakote. I wonder if it might be better to take a larger dose of Geodon.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The maximum dose of geodon is 100mg , most persons use a lower dose than this.

This means that you cannot increase the dose.

Your doctor maybe able to give you an alternative to help with the insomnia.

I hope this helps
