What’s up friends. I’ve recently been diagnosed bipolar this year and this group has been super helpful for finding info and support living with bipolar

My most recent episode was about a month ago and got so serious that it landed me in the hospital. What I’ve noticed is my episodes almost always start off either insomnia, 3 days with no sleep is nooo good for me (or anyone)

Typically. I sleep fine. But when I don’t sleep it’s tough. And it’s never one night. It’s always a few in a row.

So with that being said I went to my doctor to try to get a med and avoid the no sleep situations in hopes it helps avoid further episodes.

I wanted to come here to see if anyone had advice on my options for this medication. I am currently on 100mg of Lamotrigine daily. My doctor advised adding either a low dose of Seroquel or Trazodone

Does anyone have any experience with how these two medications interact with one another or which one would be a better fit based off my situation? Any help is appreciated in advance

🙏
