Hello all, well my Bipolar DH has come out of his dark place long enough to get to see a new GP, he had taken 5 Diazepam a few hours before we had to go so he kind of sat and dribbled - he said he had forgotten and the pain is making him want to just escape from it in the Diazepam sleep. So I had to do most of the talking but at least the GP saw him, he could hardly make it into the surgery!
Anyway, the Doc suggested he starts on Remeron 15mg at night. He seems to be very sleepy can anyone advise how long this is likely to last...the sleepiness. He takes Oxycontin for his back pain so that keeps him awake then he is exhausted which makes him deeper depressed so I am hoping this med will help him get into a regular sleep pattern.
any advice on what to expect would be a comfort...and so I know what to expect...I read about the eating but as the Oxycontin makes him sick all the time thats not a bad thing!
thanks all
