Who's up?

I feel up, though have been sleep challenged for weeks.  Anybody else??

I'm up very late to do with hypomania and pain -sometimes up until 9am until things ease up. And I was switched over to 300mgsXR of Seroquel which is doing nothing and a small dose of depakote which isn't helping yet. Argh. I hate getting older lol.. it bites.

I find that when I am not sleeping well, bipolar induced, I am either headed for mania or on my way to mania. I always get nervous because the opposite of mania is depression, hence, bipolar. Call your doctor????

yea up makes me sleep challenged,  Generally get 5-6 hrs/night.
Discipline to lay down and get comfortable are invaluable.
Thanks.

I'll probably be until 3 A.M. as always but that's because the prescriptions I take for other needs are activating. Its not a matter of mania though but when I've been manic in the past staying up the whole night has been a problem. And I can't tolerate any known sleep aides. Not a good position and hopefully one that can be addressed and I'm looking into.

I don't usually get happy, cheery hypomania, mines usually the easily irritated cranky kind. I'm pretty aware of those moods and take extra meds as required if I can't sleep. (pdoc advised to do so)
