Well, they use Seroquel as a mood stabilizer, but PDR would show it is an anti-psychotic. Of that, I take 25mg 3x a day and 100mg at sleep.
They use Trileptal as a mood stabilizer, but PDR (physicians desk reference) shows it as an anti-seizure med for epilepsy. Whoops, in earlier post I called it an anti-epileptic. Of that, I take 300mg 2x a day (9a and 5p).
Then, there is Valium, which ya' know is a benzo, but it is much more effective than klonopin or Xanax, as it is long-acting. Of that, I take 10mg 3x a day.
I take first doses about 9a, second doses about noon, and third about 5-6p. Then, the only one I take @ sleep is the Seroquel 100mg. I've been waking around 6a, but usually lie down and rest around 2-3p in afternoon.
The original scrip for Seroquel was 300mg at sleep. Must have felt a little groggy, because asked doc to go down to 100mg. Feel pretty well-rested on that, but may go back a bit higher. Still having hot flashes. But, have much better mental clarity, feel more 'in the moment' now, have less worry, and with less anxiety, my thinking is so much better.
Good night, cf
