(Or any other way to self medicate)

Yay or nay?

As I lay here in bed, having the never ending fight with myself to fall asleep, I'm starting to seriously contemplate using marijuana for the sole purpose at easing my mind at night to help me get to sleep. My mind is constantly racing at night and it takes me AT LEAST 2 hours after I get to bed until I fall asleep, sometimes not until 2 or 3am.

I asked for help about insomnia on fb a few weeks ago and got an overwhelming majority vote from my "hippie" Cali friends who suggested I try smoking pot to help me get to sleep. I'm just worried about how it may interact with the drugs I take? (Namely, Geodon). Does anyone else do this or know BP persons who smoke pot for insomnia or use it to self medicate? I even asked my pdoc about it and his only seriously concern was that it was a bad idea because the drug exacerbates being "unmotivated" and having "lack of action" during the day and may cause over eating. (Which I obv don't want since I am trying to lose weight). But I would only be taking this at night, strictly before bed. Any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated
