All that stopped when I stopped the magnesium.

I don't think it's an allergic reaction. A lot has happened during the past several months, and I think my body is saying, "Not this, not now."

I think my allergic reaction to Vrylar kicked it off last summer, followed by my recent reaction to a higher dose of Lamictal.

I'll try again when - if - things settle down, physically.

I'm still not sleeping enough. I'm so, so tired all of the time. It's one more thing to push through, but it's really hard and has a big cost.
If melatonin doesn't help you can try valerian which is OTC but it can react with certain psych meds, you have to check it out. When I was pregnant, I combined valerian and melantonin (recommended dosages of each) which is NOT recommended but was the only thing that could get me to sleep and finally the ob-gyn gave it the okay, but if you do that, please check with a doctor first.
