Thanks everyone. My t and I have discussed it several times. I do have PTSD as well from someone trying to kill me, and from being stalked, but that has been in remission. I know it's irrational, and my geodon has helped tremendously compared to how bad it used to be. I wouldn't sleep at all at night before. Wouldn't take anything either, but being bipolar and not sleeping just makes the paranoia and the mania even worse. So they have given me meds to sleep but it doesn't take away the fear.
