Just started Lithium for BPII 3 days ago. I've been denying this possible diagnosis for more than a year. I have no idea if it will help with anything, too soon of course. Can't sleep and barely made it through the day, it was 1 moment at a time and was falling asleep driving home. It was horrible. Taking Lunesta 3 nights now. Don't know how to keep doing it, so hard to feel so exhausted too and work and be a mom and wife. Sorry for moaning.
