[QUOTE="katya02, post: 195365, member: 2884"] difficult child has been on Seroquel, this summer in fact, but it kept drowsing him out. He wasn't on a really low dose though, so that might bear another look. He couldn't be on any of the benzos or similar (like Ambien) - too much addiction stuff going on right now. He just couldn't/wouldn't regulate his intake of the longer acting benzos, which he had while waiting for his Paxil to control his panic attacks. I'm not thrilled at all about having amitriptyline around the house so will likely suggest he continue searching for another sleep medication, though it's not up to me. He came home with a severe sleep disturbance. I hope it gradually disappears over the next several months because he really didn't have one before. But months of pot and coke and who knows what will destroy your sleep pattern, plus whatever intrinsic sleep disorder there might be. He's been on Luvox before and done well with it and it seems to be helping now. The Paxil worked like a charm for his panic attacks (never had those before either). He's been on risperdal in the past, and neurontin, and topamax; also depakote. None of them were helpful and the risperdal just knocked him out. He's never had lamictal. Some good news!! I checked with the rehab people today and there's a new therapist in town who sees Borderline (BPD) patients and dual diagnosis patients and uses DBT. Hooray! That's on my list for Friday, after we get back from the family funeral (husband's uncle). Thanks so much, Katya [/QUOTE]
