And having brought my mom... My pdoc put me on what I asked. I asked for Propranolol (Indural) for my restlessness. Which should also help with my random racing heart. I was also put on Ambien for the insomnia brought on my the abilify.

When I first started my medication journey, I was totally against takign a medication for a medication. Having just finished working in the mental health field, I saw that the majority of my resident's medications were prescribed to counter a side effect. I didn't want that for myself..

I've given in. If this is what it takes to have even keel, then I will take it.
So now I am on:
Trileptal 300 mg BID
Abilify 10 MG qHS
and for side effects
Propranolol (idk the mg) BID
Ambien (idk my mg) qHS

I hope I don't forget them... I should probably memorize them but they have been changing so often lately.
