Less meds, insomnia, etc.

Posted by sheilac on January 8, 2013, at 8:27:43

Right now the only med I am taking is Trileptal.

150mg Trileptal in morning and 300mg Trileptal at dinner.

I feel more alert during the day and the lesser dose of morning Trileptal is helping me not be so depressed. (Higher doses of Trileptal give me depression).

The problem is I have terrible insomnia. I'm not sure what to do.

I slept great when I used to take Lithium at night with Trileptal, but I was afraid the Lithium (even at 150- 300mg a day) was causing nodules on my thyroid to grow, so I stopped the Trileptal.

I'm not getting much sleep, and when I wake up I feel groggy and my muscles twitch. I hate it, I feel shaky and twitchy. Then I start the cycle of drinking coffee to wake up.

I'm not having depression, but am having anxiety.

I'm wondering if just adding back nightime Lithium would help.

I need sleep.
