Hi BlackDragon
I am not Bipolar but my dx is depression, panic disrder and OCD. My PDoc originally thought of putting me on a low dose anti-psychotic. I was confused as to why at first. She explained to me that in small doses it helps calm, relax and sleep. I was having tremendous trouble with intrusive thoughts at that time and was unable to sleep for more then 2-3 hours at a time. I went weeks like that.
Maybe your PDoc was thinking along the same lines. Were you able to discuss it with him/her?
Huggles,
Jen
