I'm currently bipolar and had med change, i was on geodon (ziprasidone) and triliphon, and benedrill, they took me off all those and, what should i do?

Depends on what they: Replaced it with. Bipolar disorder is a very complicated condition to treat. Treating it is in many ways a combination of science and art. I would work closely with your psychiatrist and ask him or her why it is that the medications were changed and what you should expect from the changes that were made. Best wishes.
