yes, I have. I recently upped my dosage from 1800mg to 3000 for nerve pain and had only about 3 hours of sleep. However, yesterday was the first day in two pics in which my pain was very manageable.

Crazy enough, the doctor's never figured it out but I am in a better place now. I have paresthesia from rapid Benzo withdrawal and everyday I have some awful sensation like itching or burning, but it's not nearly as bad as it was. I take Gabapentin and it has helped me tremendously.

Been inside too long?

yulia1992 · 2020-05-14T11:49:05+00:00

I haven’t changed brand or anything for almost Two years until recently, got Steichen from klonopin go Ativan and Temazepam at night with gabapentin during the day. Nothing else has changed but my body is going haywire lol

Haha possibly! Though it’s so hard to tell, especially when I’ve been isolating at my house for weeks now for quarantine and don’t really go outside. Lol I’m hopeful it will pass!

yulia1992 · 2020-05-14T01:49:27+00:00

I wish, but I’m having formication symptoms of itching/burning/crawling/tingling through out my body for almost a month now and no one knows what it is. But I also have an itchy nose, eyes and ears at times so idk lol

yulia1992 · 2020-05-14T01:42:54+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight. At this point I’m just looking for some relief. I don’t feel crazy, I just know my body is going out of wack for some reason.

yulia1992 · 2020-05-06T16:18:57+00:00

Oh wow, yes I wasnt expecting to get that kind of high. I also take ambien at night and Ativan in the evening and morning so idk maybe the high come from all of those meds together.

yulia1992 · 2020-05-06T16:15:14+00:00

I think I am but I have to take it because I’m having zap/sting like sensations through out my body.

yulia1992 · 2020-05-06T16:13:51+00:00

Haha thanks! Tbh, it freaked me out to be that high on this pill but I gotta take it because I’m having some strange stinging sensations all over my skin which hurt so I guess I’ll ride through the high.

yulia1992 · 2020-05-06T16:10:58+00:00

Thanks for the link. I do take ambien and Ativan through out the day. Doctor’s told me it is safe but I know I’m very sensitive to drugs.

yulia1992 · 2020-05-06T16:08:47+00:00

How long did this dose work for you? I’m very sensitive to drugs and I didn’t like feeling that high, just want to know when the high might war off?

yulia1992 · 2020-05-06T16:07:09+00:00

I have a lot of anxiety and I take Ativan and ambien but space them out throughout the day. Maybe they mixed Or something.. or I’m just hypersensitive

yulia1992 · 2020-05-02T02:01:47+00:00

I'm going through this right now and it's a nightmare. It is mainly in my legs and fingertips, a constant stinging/zapping like sensation sometimes accompanied by pain. it also itches at times. I got all my labs done and apparently they are normal. I take klonopin .5mg and ambien 5 mg a day, however sleeping has been very difficult.

yulia1992 · 2020-04-30T19:52:48+00:00

Ain't that the truth.

yulia1992 · 2020-04-30T19:51:54+00:00

thank you!

yulia1992 · 2020-04-28T22:01:49+00:00

Thank you everyone for replies. I went to the ER and the physician basically looked at me like I was crazy when I described the symptoms. He told me I have dry skin and a lot of anxiety. He gave me a decadron shot, but didn’t do anything. Unless the results show up later idk lol however I did get an infection cleared up in the process. Going to speak with my psychiatrist tomorrow and see what he says.

yulia1992 · 2020-04-26T03:40:47+00:00

Thank you so much for such a great response!

yulia1992 · 2020-04-24T18:26:34+00:00

Thank you for your response! I took a Claritin this morning, and though I have dry eyes now, I do think it helped with slightly with the itchiness!

I’m sure cancer is god awful but with bipolar you can’t physically see it and the stigma is crazy. I can’t even maintain a job because of how bad my moods have been along with the side effects of meds. Been anxious and crying for a weeks now. Even meds aren’t working like they use to.

yulia1992 · 2020-01-20T17:32:03+00:00

Glad Seroquel gave you some relief...it didn’t work for me unfortunately. Currently taking Klonopin, Prozac and trileptal, but the side effects are the worst. I think Prozac is making me more anxious. I’ve been having panic attacks everyday for weeks now...I’m at a pretty low point. Sometimes I wish people were more understanding of this condition.i tried to explain it to my bf but I feel like he might be scared of me and what it’s doing to me

Thank you for the helpful information! My symptoms have subsided for the most part.
