I'm been on vicodin for a couple of days for an abcess in my tooth-jaw. Before the Rx, I was waking up in the middle of the night from pain, despite 10mg of ambien. When I take the vicodin (I can only take it in the evening, because I have to drive a lot during the day) I become drowsy, but later in the evening, I feel pretty revved up, and hypomanic. Of course-- my brain says FUN!!! let's stay up!!!. After a few hours, I must be falling asleep. Then I wake up (to go to work) with drowsy hangover. What a mess.
I'm wondering whether some sleepy-making meds could help me. I've got the following at my disposal
xanax
klonopin
zolpidem (ambien)
sonata
and some antipsychotics-- but they cause BIG hangover!I'm taking 300mg wellbutrin and 100mg zoloft with 300mg lamictal as my daily meds.
Thanks for your input.
