HI
I was newly diagnosed with mild BP...I love this board...forgot my password so couldn't post for a while..but love reading.
The topamax has been great....but the doctor jumped me up from 50 to 100...and I just didn't feel right...so I went down to 75...I still dont feel right and my sleep is all off....I have GREAT difficulty falling a sleep....and when I do....I never sleep straight thru the night...I wake up after three hours and then have trouble falling back a sleep...it's awful...
I was still a little bit manic at 50...but to tell you the truth...I miss my mania a little.....I mean I am 44 and I guess I've had it my whole life...so I kind of don't really know any other way...did anyone else feel this way?..does it take getting used to being level?...I mean the rotten part is the happy high is gone...but the blues still pop up pretty regularly...what's with that????? ( I take a low dose of lexapro and elavil...if I dont' take the elavil...I don't sleep at all)anyway...love to hear what you all think...esp if you have any sleep solutions...although I have tried most
thanks
