Takinf naps

My meds make me tired, so I take a nap. Then once I go to sleep for the night I wake up at 5:00, Last night I went to bed at 10. Suggestions?

Seraquel usually knocks me the hell out....W/ trazadone I got up to too high of a dose (more than 500mils) too quickly However I've noticed that I'm developing a tolerance to seraquel as well....I've been taking 300mils consistently for more than a week BUT I'll see my pdoc on this TUesday & we'll have to have a talk about my ANXIETY & nervous ENERGY levels....I'm still trying to get a regular exercise regimen going to see how it will affect my sleep....I was told NOT to take naps BUT i had to yesterday bcause of only getting 3hrs for several nights in a row! - GOOD LUCK!

I seem to need that siesta in the afternoon as well with the Seroquel. I set my microwave alarm after lunch for 45 minutes and take a nap. This is usually enough to refresh me and not mess up my sleep cycle.

I'm concerned because they're probably going to prescribe me Adderal for ADHD & I'm wondering how that will affect my Bi Polar meds BUT I'm going to go back to college & my hyperdistractibility is really high & my communication skills are affected by it as well....It seems to have gotten worse since taking the bipolar meds

Does anyone out there take BOTH adhd & bipolar meds together?

I only took an incredibly low dose (1/4 of the lowest dose available) of ADHD meds for about 1 month. It triggered a very enjoyable hypomania but then I began waking up with my heart racing and the last day I took it I think I had a mild heart attack. But I have always been very sensitive to meds probably because I also have multiple chemical sensitivity.
