cloudyn808,

Can't take Benadryl. Makes me hyper and sleepless. Mirtazapine, 1/4th of a tablet, made me quite sick(nausea, dizziness, headache, restless and agitated)and my sleep barely counted as sleep. I started using Cogentin(benztropine) since I have a full bottle after another failure with Abilify. Cogentin antagonizes histamine(H1) and with .75mg of Klonopin, my sleep was restful, though my head feels like it's full of cement, my mouth is constantly dry and I'm in a drug fog. But after a cup of coffee, which I never drink, my head cleared a little and I was able to go shopping. Even bought an 8 pack of Pepsi with real sugar to keep some caffeine in me!
