Hi everyone!
I am 29 yo male. I have been diagnosed with DDNOS and OCD. I take these medications: Escitalopram (Lexapro) 20 mg in the morning, Aripiprazole (Abilify) 5 mg in the morning, Lamotrigine (Lamictal) 100 mg bid and Clonazepam (Klonopin) 1 mg at bedtime.
I have recurrent anxious dreams related to dissociative episodes, I have not real nightmares but I always wake up very confused. I tried tons of meds to treat this issue, but nobody knows the key.
I would like to know is there is someone with my same sleep issues and which medications have helped.

Many thanks!
Marco

Thank you for your reply. Now I take Lamotrigine 200 mg/day. So can I go to 300 mg/day in split doses? e.g. 200 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the evening?

For the sleep issue, which med could I try at bedtime?

Thank you very much for your advice. Hydroxyzine, an antihistamine, could be used for treating sleep issue?

Ok, thank you very much for all.

My psychiatrist didn't ask me to split doses. Also he asked me to increase the dosage only 25 mg a week. As the rare side effects can be pretty serious I think it is important to follow your psychiatrists instructions.

Ok, thank you.
