Yes, I have a lot of problems right now. Mainly financial that are preventing me from sleeping. That and the Parnate of course.

Tonight I am taking double the dosage of the Loxapec because it's prescribed that I can. And yes, I have set an alarm just in case!

The Tramadol might just help - it can help stop those pesky ruminations.

Nevermind the Cyproheptadine it interacts with MAOIs.

Try Prazosin or Clonodine.

Isn't Tramadol an opiate, or I am thinking of something else?

I slept for 12 hours on 2 pills of the Loxapine. Thing is, I really don't want to take this med because of weight gain. Maybe tonight I will try going it solo and see what happens. Maybe I just needed those few nights of 12 hours!

Tramadol possesses agonist actions at the μ-opioid receptor and affects reuptake at the noradrenergic and serotonergic systems. Its also an NMDA antagonist.

It has helped me sleep when nothing else would, mainly because it can cause a very pleasant state of dissociation.

My pdoc would never prescribe that for me. We talked about opiods for my depression and he wouldn't do it. Too bad.

Go see a neurologist and tell them you have trigemenal neuralgia. LOL

I haven't contacted my doctor yet. I will see him on Friday. I really don't know what will work. I seem to be immune to everything. Last night I didn't take any meds so hopefully tonight when I do, I will sleep. I need it so badly. My mood is much lower today. :(

Thank you for your concern. *hugs*

I took two of the Loxapine pills last night and I slept 12 hours. What a relief. The only problem is that I feel drugged during the day and I think it effects my mood (mood is lower). I really don't want to feel this way every day, but I need to sleep. Such a problem!!!

Yes Maxime, I hear you. That has happened to me when I've doubled up on sleep meds. Lowered mood and hung-over (my term). For me, sleep is better than no sleep--I need lots of it.

Lowered mood, but o.k.?

I slept again last night, but woke up groggy and nauseous. Tonight I will take just 1.5 of the pills instead of 2 and maybe that will help. I don't like the way it's making me feel, but I have to get sleep. Sigh.

My plan didn't work. :( 1.5 pills doesn't do the trick. I really need to find something else to take.

I'm finally in a great sleep cycle thanks to the meds. I still use but I only take 1 instead of 2. It has really made a difference in my mood.

Thanks for your help and suggestions everyone!

I'm just able to sleep with the help of Loxapine. But at least I am sleeping and 1 pill doesn't make me too groggy the next day.
