In reply to xyrem or depakote for insomnia? Feedback please!, posted by allye on February 6, 2004, at 16:54:43
Hi:
Depakote is mood-stabilizer. Lithium you've been on already is also 'Mood-stabilizer.' I don't think you need *two* m.s. same time. Rather, Lamical might be a good choice, but skin-problem is one of very annoying problem, then before asking your pdoc., you need to think about a lot about this. Besides this, Lamictal has both mood-stabilizer and 'good' anti-dep. effect. I never been on, ... but seems very good med.
In regard to your current weight issue is, I suspect, two meds., Lithium and Zoloft. Those two gives you a good appetite, ... in my knowledge.
xyrem about which you're asking, ... I have NEVER heard of. But, since you're looking for sleeping med., then a tiniest dosage of 'Seroquel' might be a good choice, ... or 'Trazodone' that is milder form of AD, but work for insomnia, unless your insomnia is serious form.
Try to ask your pdoc. on this regard, because sleep-good is one very crucial recovery on any of M.I. you have.
