Okay, so I'm bipolar and have been having a serious depressive episode. I have barely kept myself together taking the following hot mess of a diet:
60mg Remeron
60mg Cymbalta
600mg Bupropion SR
200mg Lamictal
1,500mg Depakote
60mg Propranolol (for tremors due to all of the above)I have been having a very hard time sleeping lately, and my P-Doc gave me Ambien (30mg) and Lunesta (9mg). Neither one of them did a thing for me. Didn't make me the tiniest bit drowsy.
Now he has prescribed 100mg Trazodone for sleep. I'm a little worried, as that makes four antidepressants now, and that just doesn't seem safe. He's one of the premier P-Docs in the city (everybody knows his name) and I really do trust him but I still thought it was an odd choice for a sleep aid!
