Howdy!
After hospital 4yrs ago during a delicate stage where I was experimenting with meds to deal with my new diagnosis of bipolar 2, I was bombed by a psych. This 'professional' had WAY more ego than brains, and I might have had better luck pissing into the wind then getting him to listen to me. I was in bad shape: lost 40lbs...couldn't drive for 9mos...kept walking around the dining room table cursing with my fingers in my hair. At one point I felt so hopeless and terrible I asked him if I were dying.
So I fired his ***. I found a nice psychiatrist without a penis and its associated ego...and we set about getting me back some normalcy. She did what Mr Knowitall should have done: scientifically brought me up on each med to see what worked...and what didn't. At the end of the day we determined the Zolpidem (Ambien) was the culprit.
After many decades of historically sleeping like rocks, I've been having trouble staying asleep more than 3hrs at a time...and its bothering me to no end. Obviously, I'll never take anything that resembles Ambien again, so I'm asking all of you what you use for a sleep med and how do you like it?
