I am thinking of you. And hoping things start to calm back down for
you. I am not sure if you take the drugs both in the evening or
just the amtrypiline. But I would even consider just adjusting the
times you take the meds.

Because that might help.

I did that when I was getting very confused, it did wonders.

Thank you all so very much!!

I can't explain how much your help means to me!!!

Mari... Thank you... mood stabilizer.... that's the word I was trying to remember. Tdoc was talking about this yesterday. She works with my Pdoc and was going to make sure that the doc had all of her info on me.


My best friend is going to go with me to the pdoc. She's very good at telling the docs what is going on with me.... I tend to forget details and clam up when stressed.


Donna... Thank you... I do take both meds at night. It's too late tonight to split them up... I will do that tomorrow... take one earlier to see if that helps.

Also you might want to consider taking cymbalta in the morning. Or even
half in the morning and half in the evening.

I take cymbalta. And I just by a fluke when I was in the hospital at
christmas, the nurses not realizing it was all at bedtime. Split my
dosage and for some reason it made me do better and feel better.

So I ask my primary, because she is who prescribes that. And she
said: Sure go ahead and give this a try this is one that can be done
that way.

Now this is only something that works for me.

Dear Abbie,
I take lamictal as my mood stabilzer and it has anti depressant qualities to it as well as being a a mood stabilizer.
this works for me.
This may work for you too.
Ask your therapist what she thinks about the lamictal as a first choice option to try.
((((HUGS))))

That is a good idea because lamictal also makes you sleepy, or at least
it does Derrick. So it is also at times a good medicine for putting
you to sleep when you don't want to go to sleep. Or in some cases
it can help you go to sleep at night.

I know that Derrick wishes he could take his lamictal only at night.

In his case since its for seizures its got to be twice a day.
