med poop out- where to go next (Latuda?)

Posted by bp peanut on January 27, 2016, at 21:18:32

First of all, I know I am on many, many meds, so no reason to let me know that. It seems like each drug helps some but not enough, so we've added more (see the list below).. I have no drug interaction issues with the Parnate.
My sleep meds have pooped out, so it takes a crazy amount of meds to make me sleep. They are interfering with my cognitive function and memory, and I hate that (see the list I'm trying below). I am more than happy to go off of benzos and sleep meds it I can find something else that works
I have started struggling with depression more over the last couple months, and the behavioral strategies are only doing so much. I wanted to add Latuda. I'm on Geodon and it controls my mixed and manic states and helps so with the depression so I am not willing to go off of it (or most of my other meds, for that matter). Can you take both Geodon (240mg) and Latuda? Will Latuda help with anxiety, so maybe I can get rid of the clonazepam?
Please help. Neither my psychiatrist nor I know where to go next for the depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
Will Latuda help me sleep? I have no idea where to go with the sleep problem. I'm not excited about benzos because my memory is getting horrible. What would you recommend for sleep?
Meds for mixed/manic states
-Geodon 240mg
Meds for bipolar depression
- elavil 200mg
-parnate 90mg
-adderall (30mg xr then 20mg immediate later- does not cause anxiety and have been sleeping fine with this for almost a year until last few weeks)
meds for anxiety/sleep until last few weeks:
Ambien CR 12.5
Perphenazine 4mg- does not help with any other symptom
What I have added just to get to sleep
These I space out an hour at a time and keep going until I finally fall asleep- I also have done behavior modification
-zyprexa zydis (10mg) worked wonderful now almost useless
-Klonipin 1mg
-Lorazepam 2mg
-if still awake, more of the above
Sorry so long, but if you have ideas on any of this, please help!!!
