Hello, I am not sure if I got the name right on the Vistaril...
I am diagonsed bipolar NOS. cannot take SSRIs. my worst symptom is insomnia/too much energy/brain doesn't shut off and racing thoughts/songs in head constantly, literally constantly
I have been on Lamictal for about a total of a month, on 50mg for about 10 days now and think it has helped a bit, stopped some mania I think, but not completely having me feel 100% "normal". closer than I was before it though I think which is promising. at least I have been sleeping with this Vistaril
Can Vistaril/benedryll be taken long term for sleep? Do you build a tolerance to it easily? I am sure it addicting, but if it helps me sleep then I don't mind being addicted
just trying to avoid the benzo and ambien route if I can for long term sleep problems if I can't find a medication that completely balances me to sleep normally
Also, have any studies shown Lamitical to be so-called toxic or any made out of anything that causes cancer it rats so to speak?
Thanks
