My Dr. prescribe Doxipen 50 mg x1 at bedtime for insomnia and biopolar depression and Lamictal 150 x2 per day which I thought caused sleeplessness. Why two biopolar meds and one antidepressant & sleep medication . I was also on Seriquil but I stopped taking this. I have starte having nite terors and dreamers that I woke up crying and not sleep well.
