> Following years of chronic undersleeping, I am now trying to get into the habit of going to bed earlier and getting more sleep. My psychiatrist, psychologist, and occupational therapist, have all identified inadequate sleep as the root of my difficulties.

> Despite getting enough sleep these last few nights, I feel very sleepy during the day, and very unmotivated, actually worse than when I get too little sleep. Is it normal to feel this way when one starts to catch up on a long-term sleep deficit?

I don't know, but you can get burnt out or psychotic from too much sleep deficit, so I think it's a good idea to attend to it.

> I suggested to my psychiarist that I should go back on flupenthixol or some other dopaminergic medicine, but he poured cold water on the suggestion. I'm currently on venlafaxine 225 mg/day, and lamotrigine 100 mg/day. I still have some left-over flupenthixol from a year back. Do you think I should use it for a few days to see if it helps?

Well, why not? I don't think it can hurt. Unless you take too much, of course, but I think you are talking about a low dose?
