I took myself off my AD for the last few days. I had to come down some from the high I've been on and the AD is one way I can control that. I put the patch (1/2 dose) back on tonight.

Tonight I also had to give in to my asthma and use my steroid inhaler. I usually opt for slightly less controlled asthma and no steroid inhalers because they agitate me although the current one is better than the prior ones. But I've had to use my rescue inhaler the last couple of days and today's attack was worse so steroids it is until the allergens settle down.

But for about an hour I got TIRED. Like set the alarms, turn of the lights and curl up with a book I thought I just fall asleep on (especially since I can't focus on the plotline). I thought I was going to sleep. When a mania goes this long every so often I'll get one night of sleep somewhere, I think to just let my body recover enough to keep going.

And then that was over. And now everything is going back up and I can feel the steroid doing its' thing and sleep may come earlier than it does many nights (and last night was bad so that would be good) but I lost my sleepy.

Someday.....
