I’ve been on lamictal for BP2 for months. Got up to 150mg for 6wks and my depression became much worse. Had the worst depressive episode I’ve had in years and since have just felt completely flat. Nothing is enjoyable at all. Told my dr and she prescribed vraylar. I’d love to hear experiences with vraylar. My biggest concerns are weight gain and insomnia. I am 10m PP and still trying to get rid of the remaining 10-15lbs of baby weight and already struggle with insomnia and am on lunesta. I plan to take the vraylar in the morning. Also nervous about it causing intense anxiety as that is already something I struggle with as well. Help lol

Was prescribed hydroxyzine for insomnia due to another med I’m on. Holy hell that was HORRIBLE. Took it at 8pm, by 9:45 I was thinking ok when tf is this gonna kick in. Then suddenly my whole body was itchy and my muscles kept twitching. Stayed in bed tossing and turning til 1:30 when I finally couldn’t take it anymore and got in the shower. Ultimately was awake til 3. Please give me some better options. I am desperate and will never take this med again that was awful.

Um ok so I just started on 25mg 5 days ago. Haven’t had any side effects so far. Had fam and friends over for a cookout and had some wine and a big meal and am puking my guts out. Wtf???? Did not have anywhere near enough alcohol to make me feel this way. Nowhere on my prescription does it say not to have alcohol and my dr didn’t mention that either. wtf? Is this normal? Should I just not drink at all on this med? I feel like ass after an amount of alc that would normally just give me a slight buzz w no hangover.
