The only medications i have been on thus far is the Seraquel xr and now the Abilify.. Since I started the aAbilify I havent slept but just 2-3 hours and its all interrupted so this isnt a good thing for me, When I dont sleep I wind up doing Stupid things ( suicidal thoughts and self harm..was hospitilized twice this year because of it) I do take Xanax 1mg And Halcion .5mg at nite Yet Im still not sleeping so,,,,, saw my T today and he is going to email my Pdoc and see what we can do to help me .. Im new to this bipolar I diagnosis and I know im stressing ALOT over all of my symptoms and trying to accept that i even have this illness even tho if im honest looking back at my life I have been bipolar since childhood ..for somereason i was able to funtion without medication therapy or an actual diagnosis .. but in the past 16 months or so i have pretty much fallen apart starting with Fibromyagia and what i initially thought was just a "run of the mill " depression due to the constant pain 24/7.. IM glad i found this site as I feel its gives alot of very good information and support .

Thanks everyone

Wishing you all some peace ~
