A really bad reaction to antidepressants can sometimes be a symptom of bipolar

Combined with the insomnia, I’d discuss the possibility with my doctor if I were you. There is a bp 2 that’s milder

Google the mdq and see how you do

Oh interesting. I tried 50 then 100 and settled on 150 but I was on latuda or maybe abilify

The nurse at my pcp’s office suggested taking the vraylar in the morning to see if that helps so I’m gonna try that

don't know about that one, but I will say triazolam has been a gamechanger for my insomnia

Use good ole Remeron or generally referred to as Mirtazapine. It is designed to help you get a long night’s sleep. Sleep better, physically feel better, brain feels better, mind doesn’t feel beat to hell! Worked for me.

To the OP-

Trazadone is safe to take in doses as high as 600 mg but not without knowing a lot more information that you have left out. However, generally speaking - it’s sedative effects are maximized by the time you get to 300 mg or so. I have not seen many people benefit for higher doses to target sleep. Now for treatment resistant depression and mixed anxiety - I have seen people get much better on doses that high.

Short answer - if it’s not working by the dose you are on - it probably won’t help your sleep.

For the next idea:

That is even better for sleep but usually when you stick to really low doses (7.5-22-5 mg). As you escalate the dose of Remeron, the sedative effects are reduced and it becomes more of an atypical antidepressant.

As always, talk to your physician on Monday. This is not a medical emergency and don’t bother the person on call with it.

There’s no person on call unfortunately

But you think it’s ok to not sleep for a week and risk another manic episode? I don’t think it’s an emergency like I wouldn’t go to the er. But I think my doctor should help me

Thanks for the trazadone info. I’ll stick to 300mg
