Up. Guess I'm not going back to bed.
I'm rethinking splitting Geodon. Not sure splitting the dose 60/60 is going to work. I took it at 5:30pm with dinner. Fell asleep great and awake at 1:00am!
If it makes me sleepy at 60mg, but awake at 80mg, maybe it would make sense to either take 40mg at night and 80mg in the morning. Or just take the whole freakin dose of 120mg with dinner.
But if I can't sleep on 120mg, I may ask for a low dose of Trileptal just to knock me out at night, to add to the 120mg Geodon. I know at higher doses (600mg) Trileptal made me swell, but maybe at a lower dose I could get back that great sleep I got with it.Sleep is very important. I'm just desperate for sleep. I've taken melatonin, Benadryl, atarax. Nothing. Still awake.
Is there anyway to deal with swelling on Trileptal so I can just go back to it?!
