Yes, I’m sure there are, I just don’t know what. Trazodone doesn’t work anymore unless I take a high dose, and even then I sometimes have to mix klonopin with it, which I am wary of doing. I’ve heard too many horror stories of ambien and lunesta.
Thing is, even when I was on 200mg of XR for a month (which is admittedly still a relatively small dose), I was still completely and totally wiped out. I was falling asleep driving to work, and I felt like I didn’t really “wake up” until like 1pm, which was well over half of my work day.
Plus, I’m eating like five meals a day now. I’m so hungry. I mean, I’m also craving snacks which is a sign of pms for me (I’m all screwed up because of high prolactin, thanks haldol). So I don’t know where one begins and the other ends. But the hunger I attribute to seroquel, because with pms I’m not usually hungry, I just feel like eating. I hate it.
Sigh. I don’t really like my IOP pdoc. He doesn’t seem to take me seriously, plus he doesn’t know my history so he could just think I’m being difficult when I tell him that most medications haven’t worked for me. I don’t know. I talk to him next week sometime.
