Lou's response-doctor doesn't know » bp peanut

In reply to 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!!!

peanut,
You wrote,[..I am on many, many meds...struggling with depression...Neither my psychiatrist nor I know...please help...].
I can help you but there's no time left for life is very short and there's no time to find a magic combination of drugs in your case. This is all because the combination of those drugs can cause death, and death quickly. You see, when these drugs are combined the effects are increased exponentially. In your case, I have a meter, and I broke a needle and it can't work.
Your doctor doesn't know, but I do. Before my meter broke, it told me a lot. And worse, there is the perfect storm for an all out homicidal episode cause by the drugs or suicide. Thus is compounded because of the sleep issue and the BZDs.
I could have you saved but there are prohibitions to me by Mr. Hsiung that prevent me from leading you out of depression and into a marvelous light. You could have your psychiatrist enter this forum and have dialog with me and I could bring it out through him/her. But after I have dialog with the psychiatrist, he/she could decide to quit what he/she is doing so let him/her know that .
Lou
