I feel ridiculously tired. I’m not sure if it’s the Buspar or lack of sleep. I’m mad because my husband will not let me sleep. I have been quite irritable and snapping at everyone today. My husband wants me to list stuff on ebay tonight, and I don’t feel like it. He keeps bugging me [...]

This morning I woke up with pain all over my body. Ibuprofen helps, but when it wears off, the pain comes back.
I am not sleeping well. I am on 300mg of Trazodone right now, and it’s not working.
I really feel terrible. I am tired and in pain and working a lot at a job that [...]

I’ve been away for a while, because I didn’t have internet. I finally got back online this month. I have wireless. It’s not as good as cable or DSL but it’s better than dialup.
Last month I ran out of Invega on a weekend and realized I felt better without it, so I decided not to [...]

The trazodone hasn’t been working. I take 50 mg before I go to bed and then another 50 when I wake up around midnight. Then I start waking up again at 3am and it never stops.
I ran out of trazadone yesterday so last night I took Ativan and that was much better. I slept soundly [...]

Well yesterday that woman who hit me called me and yelled at me over the phone. I was trying to get her insurance information and give her mine but she got me so upset I hung up on her and threw my phone. The phone fell apart, but my son put it back together for [...]

I saw the new doctor this week, she seems pretty good. She agreed I needed to get off the Klonopin and put me on Trazodone for sleep. So far it doesn’t work well. The first night I took 25 mg and the second night I took 50 mg. Both nights I started waking up at [...]

Last night I took Valerian to help me sleep instead of Klonopin. I’m trying to get off the Klonopin. It worked, but I was quite drowsy this morning. I wonder if it is because it has poppy in it or perhaps I took too much. Tonight, I will take it earlier and less of it [...]

I thought inquiring minds would like to know about all the medications I’ve been on and how they worked, and what the side effects were.
Antidepressants:
Prozac – helped my depression but sent me into a hypomanic state with aggression when dosage was increased.
Zoloft – seemed to work fine in my early 20s, but made me sleepy. [...]

I missed my dose of Invega on Saturday night because I stayed with my husband and forgot to bring my meds with me. I stopped by the house before going to the flea market Sunday morning and went ahead and took my Ritalin and my birth control pill. I also am now taking Claritin daily [...]

My medication is working – finally – with minimal side effects.
I’m taking:
6 mg of Invega each night to stabilize moods
1 mg of Klonopin each night to sleep
32 mg of Concerta each morning for ADD
It seems to be working. The Invega makes me tired but not tired enough to sleep. That’s where the Klonopin comes in. [...]
