going to the doctor tomorrow hopefully will be back on zyprexa and lamictal. Still not sleeping only 1 or 2 hrs a night stopped the melatonin did not work not going to take any vitamins but a one a day simple viotamin I react to them differently and they make me feel worse I hope that I do not develop high blood sugar or diabetes I wopuld neve follow a dit plan or keep up with any meds My body heals itself and I let it. I see the nurse practitioner tomorrow she is new and probably does not know muchg I hope she does not give me a problem do not want vraylar too many side effects and do not want anything new one tried to put me on latuda without an antipsychotic they do not read the charts think of things off of the top of their heads and give you the wrong thing I am not looking forward to going just get meds get it over with I know what works they will not give me anything for sleep so I am on my own there

I was on Lamictal for a couple of years and I really liked how I felt on it but I basically stopped sleeping

I would sort of dose for a couple of hours and that was it.... It's frustrating...… Big hug....xo

So she's basically doing the same thing. Sorry she wasn't any help. Have you tried going to your regular M.D. for help with the sleep issue?
