Welcome! I also have the traditional MH problem (Bipolar II, in my case), fibromyalgia, spinal problems, etc. I know what you mean about sleep being a problem. I take Trazodone at night for sleep, but that doesn't always help. I also take Ultram and Tylenol for pain. I sometimes take a warm bath, and I definitely need some down time before turning in--such as reading something boring, doing breathing exercises, etc. A friend of mine with fibro takes Ambien. She's also on a Fibro med (lyrica). She says it helps some, but she has gained weight on it. I can't stand to gain another ounce, so I am trying to stay off of it. She also has to have some down time, too, before hitting the sack.

Hope you can sleep soon!
