Yes, I was told to take the extra 100 mg at night. So far, it hasn't made me sleepier than normal. It might not.
You know though, all this makes me wonder something. I mean, is this my life now? More and more meds, higher doses, where does it stop? It's so frustrating...I go along for months feeling stable and good, but then I get manicky or depressed again and up go the meds. I am on eight meds for psychiatric reasons, six of them actual psychotropics. And my pdoc is conservative in prescribing, anyone else would probably make me a zombie. Sorry to whine, I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired.
