I'm sure Phiddipus understands this better than I do, but the newer atypical antipsychotics all block serotonin 5-HT2a receptors. This mechanism effectively increases dopamine activity downstream. Sometimes, you need to think of the brain as a network of circuitry, not simply a a pool filled with neurotransmitters.

One step at a time. I would encourage you to stay on Tegretol. If you can't get Geodon to work well for you, speak to your doctor about Latuda. Latuda is a weight-neutral antipsychotic, and has well-documented antidepressant effects in bipolar depression. It is now approved by the FDA for that indication.

Try not to screw around with your medication. Let your doctor do that.
