It's 3:30 a.m.
So, lunesta w/ ambien w/ risperdone are not a sleep option for me. That is what I was prescribed yesterday and told to call if it does not work..
These were mentioned as options:
Tenazapam (sp?)
Halcyon (scared me)
(Ativan is agitating. Librium, too)
I said I didn't want to up my benzo intake.Then zyprexa
Then off on AP ideas like saphris which he admitted was less sedating. Guess he likes AP's.
Seroquel (bad reaction once)
I said I wasn't keen on going further into AP's.I asked for amitriptyline. No-go with the Emsam. I would need 14 days to clear Emsam according to new guidelines (had computer there.). I could withdraw from Emsam, try ami, but we both balked at that wholesale change at this point.
Tradzadone (I forget why that was ruled out....)
There are no diet restrictions at 9mg Emsam, but other than that, he's treating it like a full on maoi.
Sleep on a maoi....anything not mentioned? Anything mentioned that short term would do least harm?
I dig a pony.
