AMBIEN RULES! | ADHD Information

GarbagePailKid:

Why are you on Lamictal? I was given that when they suspected I was bipolar, is there something like that with you to?

For me, the Lamictal was ok, I didn't get so depressed but I woke up around 4am everymorning and was so hyper and restless I simlpy couldn't stay in the bed. Tehn I was up all day and no matter how late I went to bed I still woke upp at the latest 4am. I couldn't bare it so they had to take it away. I never came up in especially high dosage, I only had 300mg. How much do you take?

I had sleepingpills even during this period but still, they couldn't keep me sleeping. After geting off Lamictal I finally could sleep longer.

Kaks-

I went to the psychiatrist after not sleeping for 3 nights straight. He said that not sleeping for so long was a 'hypomanic episode' or something, and put me on lamictal for bipolar. This was the first time anyone suggested bipolar. I don't think I have regular shifts in moods...and i am not exactly sure what hypomania is to begin with. When I look it up, it says stuff like "increased self confidence" and "increased productivity. Well--i am never confident and never productive at all...so maybe he is just giving pills at random to test what works...I have only been on it for a few days and don't really know what it does yet. I probably was acting strange in the office because I was  so overtired and confused because of that. 


This past wednesday was put on ambien for insomnia (12.5mg) It completely works!!! Yay. 3 nights on ambien = 3 nights of great instant sleep.

THIS IS AN AD!

YAAY

A question for all the ppl who've been on ambien long term:
Does it keep working? Do you get used to it? Side effects?  Etc, yaaay sleep.




Glad your getting sleep!I'm jealous!

No grogginess in the morning? I've been considering Ambien, but most sleep aids stay with me the entire next day.
ty auntie :)
taritac- i would not know about morning grogginess due to ambien bc ive been beyond groggy and nearly delerious from sleep deprivation for a long time.

Lol anyway I have an arsenal of other meds (+loads of coffee) to make up for morning grogginess~ adderall + lamictal (mood stabilizer-- just started it along with the ambien) .   oh yeah-- taritac--- no need to be jealous, seriously...try it!(spreading the word!)! Maybe a small dose? It supposedly wears off after a full night's sleep (7-8 hrs)..
