Insomia worse since starting tomamax

Posted by paintmom on April 30, 2005, at 21:52:49

Hello all

I got diagnosed with BipolarII after being misdiagnosed as depressed for about 8 years.
It was hard at first but has turned out to be a liberating and wonderful thing. Topamax is the first drug they tried on me and has evened me out beautifully........the down side is that my chronic insomnia is worse than ever....I know this goes against common wisdom...but I am a little flukey and tend to go against the grain of things/have weird backwards reactions to drugs etc. I've tried many many things alternative and otherwise....I take Cal/Mag every nite...(my sleep is worse without it..)also a small dose of elavil which I have been weening off because it used to help but no longer does. So now my psych nurse practitioner....who is wonderful....finally gave in and gave me a restoril....which I don't even really want....but I am just so exhausted I can't accomplish anything and feel on the edge of mania.....So I wanted your wisdom on all this....cause I doesn't make sense to me from what I read....If the Bipolar is finally under control...shouldn't my sleep finally get somewhat normal??????
thanks all
