This has become a routine. I try to sleep by 11.30 pm and wake up around 10.30am. I have deep sleep and feel rested throughout the day and then it makes me to work through out the day with full energy. Is this normal or do I need to change my lifestyle?

Problem with Aripiprazole and Topiramate

A. I have been taking Arip Mt 5 for two weeks, which severely blurred my eyesight and made me weak and drowsy. I recovered after stopping it and taking Phenergan 25 for a few days. Now my doctor suggests a half dose, am going to use Nulet 2.5. Will that stop the side effects? If not, should I take the phenergan with it, and will that be good? What other options do I have? B. I have tried to take Topamac 25 two times now. Each time, my body reacts strongly. The first day I will have fever, and then weakness, headache and limb stiffness onwards. Happened both times. Yet doctor suggests this. Options, alternates, prevention? Note: I am diagnosed with social anxiety, depression, IBS and weak immunity.
