Thanks for the input everyone. I approached my pdoc about getting off the meds, as I don't believe I'm bipolar II but am suffering depressions because my thyroid was out of whack. I don't have the symptoms of either mania or hypomania. She flatly turned me down. I'm not surprised...she really prescribes a pill for everything!

I'm taking generic unisom, which gives me 2-3 hours of sleep but no more.

Lucky for me, though, my tardive dyskinesia symptoms have totally gone away. It is worth it to lose a little sleep for a few weeks to stop that.

I expect my sleeping pattern to settle down soon, I was just wondering how long it would take.
