well, I did sleep some last night. not the deep, deep sleep I was anticipating but it's a start. I took the zolpidem at around 10:30 and was in bed at 11 pm after I showered and the meds kicked in right away. I noticed that I was dreaming plenty and my Spotify playlist was repeating. I got out of bed only once to use the bathroom. also, my wife noticed that I didn't kick in my sleep which I do when agitated and manic.
this morning, my mania is definitely waning. my mood is absolutely more stable and there is no anxiety to speak of. this will be my first full day on my new meds regimen. hope this combo helps me in the long run. I want to actually enjoy this summer with my family. we plan to take road trips and I want these mixed episodes and hypomania to be in the rear view. that's about it, just wanted to update this morning. hope everyone is well!

I'm so happy to hear you are feeling better. I am sure it is nice to be able to breathe a little easier after struggling and fighting against it like you did. I'm glad your pdoc was able to find a combo that is working for now and I hope it helps you in the long run like you're hoping. Your summer sounds like a good time and you deserve to enjoy it! Well wishes for a better day today.

I think I still need an afternoon nap today. went to dunkin for an iced latte, but still feel a bit tired. think my head is not completely back to specs, but I do feel myself getting better little by little, don't wanna push it. I figure I should just listen to my body. if it's telling me I need a nap then I need a nap...

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
