Yeah it can be really difficult unmedicated. I am on quite a few different meds for sleep. Just realize that it won't last forever. Last late August/September/October I ended up in the hospital bc I could barely sleep even with all they were giving me. I changed my mood stabilizer and that's what did it.

My family wasn't really interested in learning about bp but I sat them down and explained to them that it would greatly help me if they would learn and to look at it as any other illness.

When can you start taking all the meds needed?
