At least I have someplace to start. I feel drowzy during the day and really want to normalize my sleep hygiene!
I had cut back to 25 mg for 2 weeks but sleeplessness was affecting my work, I stayed up too late, slept in too late. You know, the vicious cycle. So went back to 50 mg.
I'm also on Wellbutrin XL 300 and Zoloft 50 along with Topamax 100. The Topa has changed my life from a 37-yr hell of bulimic binging and purging, to finally having a normal appetite, being able to control my weight without obsessing about food. It's been 18 months now that I've felt like a human being again.
Been on just about every TCAD, SSRI and a few anti-psychotics since 1990 and recently went back to the WB & Zoloft combo.
My pdoc says the Topa should make me tired, which it did at first, but not anymore. Certainly not enough to outweigh the WB. I just want to get off the traz. I will try your titration formula, Justin. Thanks again!
