My doc wants me to take 300mg lithium at night for depression (it works) and 150mg Trileptal 2x a day for mood (it works but makes me feel depressed, hence the lithium).
Here's the problem - SLEEP!!! I can't sleep through the night. Generic Ambien sucks and doesn't do a thing for me and melatonin - no matter how much I take doesn't work through the night.
Last night out of desperation (after 3 nights without sleep!) I took 50mg of Seroquel and slept great finally. But, as usual, I woke up this morning a monster from the Seroquel.
I didn't take the Trileptal because I thought maybe all 3 meds are just way too much.
Would the morning Trileptal chase away the Seroquel monster I am when I wake up?
Is taking all three of these meds too much?
Any suggestions. I love the sleep I get from Seroquel but I may get divorced if I stay on it. I need something to take the edge off. It's like the Seroquel makes me manic or something!
What do I do? HELP ME!
