I asked where to post this but at least this part...I feel most comfortable here. my physiatrist put me up and down different meds sometimes within days gave me something with antidepressant qualities to sleep (doxepin) I can take nothing to do with any antidepressants or antidepressant qualities. Told him that many times. (Makes me pariniod and usually very social happy manic. They can sometimes make me an irritable manic) Strattera, Trazadone (but ssris are the worst). This time created mania sleeping 2 hrs. a night, my PTSD and flashbacks at least 2xs a day this went on for 6 months. So screwed up I didn't even understand needed new physiatrist. Without sleep, trauma overtime, anxiety thru roof... he raised some med (don't remember which) so fast I could feel...don't know how to describe it. But could feel I was going to see things but didn't. Hit a psychosis. Scared to death...I was hearing things, going out of my mind. My sister even went to physiatrist said you have got to get her to sleep. finally my therapist (and very angry "at the doctor" bipolar friend) talked to me see new physiatrist... less meds lower dosages was me in two weeks...put me on Seroquel for sleep but still only 6 hours a night waking up at least 4 times a night. Gained about 60 pds to 80 pds in a month but didn't care I was finally sleeping. My therapist asked if I wanted to do something legal about it...then got a letter he was retiring...thank God. I’m going to be all over these forums posting what belongs in PTSD and Anxiety and sleep everything because doesn't fit anywhere. But to all here thanks for listening to part. so scared it’s too different because of other diagnoses involved but started with bipolar and took from me my life...but I’m coming back just got a lot of healing to do ...thanks for listening
