Eden,

If your still in the hospital they can give you medications that will make you sleep. Usually when I go manic and wind up in the ER I would say about 50 percent of the time they give me some sort of shot and then I wake up somewhere else (a psych ward in another hospital) and I don't know where I am when I wake up.

Sometimes they transport me awake other times they knock me out. I don't know what it is that they give me but it knocks me out and by that time I am completely manic and fully psychotic and delusional and I haven't slept in days so I know it would work.

I would just tell them you want to sleep and none of the meds are working and I am sure they would give you something stronger. Sleep is very important, you need good sleep to get better.
