Update: how long until this starts to work? I fell asleep after I took it lol. I think I need a higher dose.

Trileptal 600mg BID
Buspar 45mg
Seroquel 150-300mg for sleep
Ativan 1mg PRN
Vyvanse 70mg
Risperdal 4-6mg PRN

I don't get msgs unless the other person using tapatalk app!
I take 300mg XL and I noticed a difference within days (less than a week). It honestly felt like it popped me right out of depression. I suddenly felt so much better, less depressed, more motivated, more energetic...but nothing over the top. I went from needing coffee and a 2-3 hour nap daily to coffee only on days after not sleeping well, and having to force myself to nap if I'm tired. Also, I can't nap for more than an hour and a half even if I try. So for me, it's stimulating, but as long as I take it by 11am my sleep isn't affected. But if I forget and it's past 11, I don't take it so I won't be up all night.
