Morristown, TN

I am bi polar and I take Geodon, Invega, Amitriptyline, Paxil, Hydroxyzine, Lamictal And I am having trouble sleeping. Anyone have any suggestions? I've taken Seraquel, Trazodone and it doesnt work. And I use to take Klonopin and it worked but my new Dr won't prescribe it because it is addictive. Any suggestions are appreciated.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member OH I'm so sorry! 16 hours in 4 days!!! NO NO Totally unacceptable. It could too have to do when you take certain drugs. With all that lack of sleep I'd be worried about becoming manic. Oh I hope you get sleep soon! Annie

I don't know if it will help you, or not. I have added melatonin, and it seems to help. I have also started meditation, which I thought was crazy. It is not. It gives you a few minutes to stop my brain and think just about the meditation. I hope you find something that helps
