Hi All,
I've been reading everyone's post for a couple of years now. I don't post often (I usually can find great answers through a search on archived threads), but always find the information here extremely helpful.
I have a long history of panic attacks, mood swings, and obsessive, compulsive behavior.
After years of trying a lot of SSRI's, a MAOI, and Lithium and Seroquel, I think my current cocktail of Lamictal, Paxil, and Trazedone is helping. Still having anxiety, but not full blown panic attacks. I am hoping as I increase my dose of Lamictal and Paxil over the next month, the anxiety will get better.
Here's my question. I take my Paxil in the morning (37.5mg) and Lamictal (50mg) at night, along with Trazedone (100mg) at bedtime. The problem is that I awake after 6-7 hours sleep and can not go back to sleep. Getting up at 4:00am every morning is making me cranky and unable to solidly face the day ahead. And I really do a lot better when I get 9 hours sleep.
Is 150mg of Trazedone at night a high dose?
Could it be that I should take my Lamictal in the morning?Thanks so much for any feedback / experiences.
Kind Regards,
Shelly
