In reply to Trileptal for sleep anyone? » Karen_kay, posted by katia on February 19, 2004, at 14:21:19
ABilify is an antipsychotic and it helps to prevent mania (according to my Pdoc)... I take it before bed, 15 mgs and it DOES NOT induce weight gain at all.... I'm still losing. I told my Pdoc the first day that I didn't want on anything that would make me gain weight and he brings it up before adding any new meds. He always says, "And this will not induce weight gain."
It's helping me, I'm stable right now, even without the Topamax.... Go figure.. And my head is clearer as well.
My friend takes Seroquel and has put on weight, but she's lazy and eats a lot as well....
I've taken Seroquel a few times to help me sleep. It knocks me right out.
If you're ocncerned, ask about Abilify. It's working for me.
I'm glad you're feeling good :) And I was into yoga for a while, but I have no patience to continue any sort of exercise, artist ability,ect...
