What did you do for your mania?? I feel like the lithium which I have been on for almost two months just isn't working. What worked for you???
i'm bp2 for more than 35 yrs. (hypomania, no depression w/lots of anxiety and agitation) and have been on 450 mg. lithium all this time, w/a 1/2 klonopin daily for about 2 yrs. just lately i have found that taking ambien for sleep is like eating m&ms..does nothing and the racing thoughts are going constantly during the nite. just started taking 1/4 of a 25mg. seroquel for sleep and that little bit works, and kills the racing thoughts. pharmacist said ambien won't kill the racing thoughts. good luck in figuring it out. am female, 65 yrs. old.
