Geodon- helps keep me more level for rapid cycling and mania. I am tired right after I take it but no fatigue in morning though and no other side effects.

Welbutrin XL-prevents frequent depressive swings, no side effects for me, love it and have been on this or its derivatives for decades. XL seems to work better for me in not causing a dip in the day like Welbutrin or SR did, that those I had to take throughout the day. XL I can take just in A.m.

Topamax- started taking it for migraines, had the added benefit of helping with the racing thoughts and mood swings, got off depakote as a result as it was no longer needed. Sleepiness with this one too after taking it so have to take it at night but always awake in a.m. Also have to stay hydrated. I have heard this can impact appetite, causing weight loss but it did not affect me at all, no changes.

Gabapentin- taking it for nerve pain (disc herniation) but had the added benefit of helping with migraines, anxiety, racing thoughts, and PTSD symptoms. Less appetite, causes drowsiness but am always awake in a.m.

The nice thing about all the meds that cause sleepiness or drowsiness is that it is rare now that I have insomnia. I do have to take Ambien which is still needed occasionally. I don't like that this completely knocks me out so that if there is an emergency I cannot function until a.m. I try not to take this unless I absolutely have to.
