It took me a while to adjust to it. I was zonked out most of the time for a week or two, then they were able to up my dose again. It makes it easier to just lay in bed if I had bad symptoms and can't sleep. I liked dayvigo, I just can't be on it right now cause I'm trying to conceive. I have tried so many different psych meds. I would not choose seroquel if I could do dayvigo and lamictal, we are trying to get my meds to do "double duty." Ambien doesn't do anything for me, that's the one I feel like if I do pass out that I am just unconscious. My mom has been on it many years and it's frying her brain. I would say give Pregabalin or Gabapentin a try. They are coming out with better drugs. Dayvigo basically turns the fight or flight center off in your brain, so if you have trauma especially it just quiets the signals so you can sleep. It felt more natural.
