Wow hun I remember sooo well being where you are!!! I had just gotten out of school, my oldest son was (what I felt ripped from my mommy arms) deciding he needed to live with his father and they moved 4 hours away, I had gotten hives because I was surfing nonstop trying to wear myself out and something happened between my wetsuit and stress, I broke out in hives they put me on prednisone (BIG BIG NO NO FOR BIPOLAR PEOPLE) and I literally hadn't slept in 5 whole days and it was only 3 hours with 4 days before that.... I was IMMEDIATELY put on seroquil, just 25 mg and I SLEPT.... I would request Seroquil, I mean I know there are very scary things about it but seriously the BIGGEST part of managing bipolar is sleep. I really really benefit from this medicine. I cannot be on a mood stabilizer (or I guess won't right now) as I am pregnant and yes I am manic when things aren't going exactly as I need them too and yes sometimes I have to walk away from a situation before freaking out but for atleast another 2 months it is what I have.... It is enough for me to be able to work etc but man you have to sleep, if they won't give you anything take some benadryl omg how inhumane!!!! I'm sorry but reading this gets me fired up, I am a dental assistant, we CANNOT walk away from a patient in pain it is UNETHICAL. How the hell these Dr's get away with this crap is honestly BS and UNETHICAL and if more people could afford it these Dr's would have been sued time and time again and would be doing theIR damn job!!! I hope you atleast get some benadryl or something for relief I'm sorry the medical professionals in your area seem to be manic/depressive driving people to insanity and beyond ahhh thats all grr for you!!!
