To start I take 1500 lithium carbonate ER, Seraquel 600, doxasoin 4mg,Trezepam 30mg
Over the last several months taking my meds before bed and laying down for awhile I would start to get an extreme sedation feeling to the point that if I didn't get um and do something in this case drink coffee I was gonna pass out and not wake up. As far as I know there isn't enough medicine there to do that, and now every time I take my meds to sleep I suffer from chain panic attacks that last hours. Ive even tried only taking my lithium and seraquel and the attacks still happen. My thinking is to stop my sleeping meds all together, I was a night owl prior to starting them but I'm not sure if I ever had a sleeping issue everyone including the docs said I did cause I was up all night and slept all day. This is sadly thanks to the high dose of seraquel not something I can just up and test my head pulses and I start puking my guts out even if its only a hand full of hours past the last time I took it. Now I also have another issue these panic attacks/sedation didn't start till they upped my lithium twice over the last year and a half, Could the actual cause be the lithium making me over sensitive to the little triggers that escalate and turn into panic? Triggers that I can remember not even noticing prior to the med changes? Could it be the med combinations? Please any help advice facts you guys can give will both help my insaney technical brain if only a little and will help me have an intelligent convo with my doc about said issues. Thank you for your time and help |

Hi Briggand,
I am sorry that you feel the meds are causing this reaction in you. The best advice that I can give to you is to straight up tell your doctor about these said issues. You absolutely will be having an "intelligent" conversation - this is what our doctors are for, to explain these side effects to us, since they are the ones who recommend these medications to us. Your doctor may be able to help you with this, but you can only be helped if you disclose your symptoms. Wishing you comfort and healing. |
