I am withdrawing from Benzo's and now totally off them. I am still unable to get sleep. In 2004 I was diagnosed as having Bipolar. I usually have 3-4 episodes in a yr. Bad ones when they happen.
One yr ago I stopped my bipolar meds. Now, I am questioning why I feel manic. I mean the benzo's may have a lot to do with it. I still need to safe guard myself tho.
I'm tired to a certain extent, but I never sleep. I might get 2-4 hours if I'm lucky a night. This has been going on for almost 60 days.
I have tried all the sleep hygiene that was suggested.
Next Thursday, I see the new pdoc. I am wondering if he will be able to tell if I'm bipolar again or just what's going on.
Medical doc gave me ambien to help me sleep. I don't want to take it just yet...
Idea? suggestions? 
Thanks for letting me vent..
