Ok, I slept great last night with melatonin & Klonopin. Great.
This morning I had anxiety that I couldn't tell if it was akathesia from being off Trileptal or just pure anxiety.
I took 1mg Klonopin, 1 Benadryl and 125mg of Depakote, then out of desperation I took 150mg Trileptal. Yesterday morning I took the same thing minus the Trileptal. And as yesterday, I now feel great. No more anxiety.What gives?
Maybe I'm not taking enough Depakote (dose 2x a day?) or maybe I just need to dose the Trileptal bedtime and morning and that will zap the anxiety?
Or maybe, is this anxiety I feel a mixed episode? I'm not acting too crazy. If it were a mixed episode I feel, why would, Benadryl, Klonopin, low dose Depakote work? Plus, no swelling and pain from 600mg Trileptal and no dull unmotivated blah feelings.
I hate to go back to large doses of Geodon for treating sleep and daytime anxiety issues.
But when my anxiety is so bold in the morning it has to be treated.
I just struggle with over medicating myself for anxiety issues.
