After about 2 months, 3 weeks of which were hypomania and then I had lingering insomnia afterwards, I am FINALLY sleeping!

Pdoc put me on Temazepam, which I'm taking with the Klonopin I was already taking. We first tried Temazepam while stopping klonopin (after trying several other things to get me to sleep) so as to not be taking two benzo's at the same time, but then anxiety started keeping me up after Temazepam alone worked for about 2-3 days.

ANYWAY, I'm now taking Temazepam and klonopin and I'm falling asleep in some 20 mins, which is nothing short of a miracle for me.

And because I had been on the maximum dose of Abilify and had had that breakthrough hypomania, I'm now on 60mg of Latuda. My pdoc says that they've done clinical trials that say that it works for mania as well, but they're waiting on approval from the FDA.

So I'm tapering down the Abilify and will be fully off of it as of Thursday.

I feel so so much better now that I'm sleeping!

Finally some good news!
