[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 298851, member: 3184"] husband takes 1800mg Neurontin 2x/day, 1mg klonopin 2x per day. At bedtime he takes flexoril (I think 10mg), 200mg celebrex, niaspan(I think 50mg), 200mg tegretol xr (yes this causes sedation, but it has been working!), and multiple supplements/vitamins. He takes the flexoril sometimes during the day and it never causes drowsiness. Neither do the neurontin or klonopin. He can take up to 6 percocet 5/325's a day and many times does. They act the opposite on him and make him talkative and hyper. He has various other nsaid creams/patches to use prn for pain. He will start the Adderall tonight. Before he was on medications he would sleep for 10 -12hrs. He would fall asleep at 4am and get up about 2 to 4pm. Now he goes to bed with me at 9:30 or 10 and falls asleep at 11 or so, and wakes up at noon or 1pm. I really don't know how he can keep trying medications. I told him last night that if I was in his place I would have given up a long time ago. He said he has to continue to try for his family, he wants to have a family life and with his sleep pattern the way it is he does not. The only medications that seemed to really help were Geodon and Abilify. They are not options anymore as Geodon caused Tardive and Abilify worsened it once the dose got high enough. He has tried Trileptal, Seroquel,Lithium,Lamictal,Depakot,Ritalin and I am not sure if I have forgotten any. The side effects were all horrible. I feel bad for getting frustrated as he has to be so much more than I, but it is so hard to watch. He is sleeping his day away. We don't care if he does not get up untill 9 or 10, heck that would be awesome. He is such a grumpy mean bear to wake up. Once he is awake he will be singing in the shower. It is nuts. [/QUOTE]
