Oh man, I am back to nasty insomnia. Here is my 'cocktail':
80mg's Prozac
50 mg's Nortriptyline
1mg of Risperdal
1 mg of clonazepam 4x daily
50 mg of topomax (which keeps me feeling steady through the day...I've tried the before/after thing)
I also have 10 mg of Ritalin to take 2 x daily if needed...I wonder if that will make me crave sleep more at night.There are 5 meds there...I don't know about my doctor adding or increasing any meds...as things are pretty high already. But, it seems I tolerate high doses of meds...I just don't think he wants to be responible if anything happens. ****Plus****, how many doc's let you make up a formula like that?
I'd go the Zyprexa way, but it causes high blood sugar readings in me (I have my Dad's old, last year machine...and all the proper equipment.) I have been tested for diabetes...and no I don't have it...and don't WANT to have it thanks to Zyprexa. The 1mg of Risperdone is *nothing*. I feel I should be on 4-5mg's.
Well...thanks for listening...comments always appreciated...
