You need to call your pdoc asap and let them know you aren't sleeping. Too little sleep can make you go psychotic and if you're thinking about suicide that's a huge red flag. For me meds tend to interfere with my sleep as well so my pdoc has me take mine first thing in the morning instead of before bed. It made a big difference. Sometimes things can be adjusted.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. Maybe you need to phone your pdoc and have a talk about how bad you are feeling. I heard someone talk about doxiepin, and I wondered what it was. Sounds like an AD. Probably better not to take that, as it will cause mania/mixed states.

Hugs to you and hope you get it figured out.

Yeha i am wating to hear fromthem I honestly will not go on a whole bunch of other meds and i think that is what the will do. I took the doxepin last night so i did get some sleep. I don't understand why they dont want me on doxepin. I already went into psychosis, ended up in hospital. it is in my earler posts. This is awful they said I would be knocked outh with the increase didn't happen.

It is an ad but it seems to be the only think helping me sleep. I was on it when all this happened. they gave me lorazopam but that only had me out for a couple hours. this is ridiculous. i dont know who to trust. the med for nightmares did help though. only one that they have given me that has. I no longer am in psychosis, however i can see it leading there. i don't like benzos b/c in this vulnerable state i am worried i will become dependent on them. i need to function i have a teenager that needs me not me in this state of mind. i am scared about all of it. i have gained 10 lbs since they put me on these meds. she said she is just trying to create a new mood? (pdoc) a drugged up mood come on. i will not let them do a chemical lobotomy on me. I know i sound like i am trying to be doc but i have been hurt by ppl in power before and it just triggers me all over the place.
