Hey tds.. Everything is going fine right now except for my sleep patterns..and i've always suffered from severe chronic insomnia. Sometimes not being able to sleep for 3-5 days at a time. It all started when i was younger (5-7 yrs old) and it seems to have just progressively been getting worse.
I take 20mg celexa a day for extreme depression.
I take 40-60mg adderall in the MORNING, for adhd.
I also take 400MG seroquel at night for bipolar disorder.
Before anyone says to remove any of these meds, let me say this first, this has been the only combination of medication that has worked for me in the past 15 years. Paxil sent my bipolar off the wall and made me not sleep for 10 days. I've tryed less/more serouqel ranging in doses from 100-800mg daily. Seroquel only allows me to get about one or two hours of sleep at most a night. After about a week of not sleeping i do tend to fall asleep for about 10-20 hours on a random day that i will have no idea thats coming... I cant remove celexa/seroquel/adderall from my regimen. I've tryed almost all gaba drugs for sleep, tryed ambien, lunesta, trazadone, klnopin, valium, xanax, some major tranquilizers.. the list goes on and on. For example, last night, took 300MG of seroquel around 2am and slept only till 3:30am.. nothing seems to increase the duration of my sleep or help me fall asleep. These drugs even in high doses don't help.. Any ideas? Any medication ideas i can throw out to my doctor because i really need a night where i can sleep atleast 3 hours or more every other night...no sleep makes me extremely depressed daily.
