I'm keeping an eye on things and so is my husband. I'm not too worried, perhaps I should be but I'm not. Things only get weird for me when I miss sleep and since I'm not, I should be ok.

Can you let your doctor know you suspect hypo and get their thoughts? I'm going to ask my doctor if hypo is possible while still getting good rest at my next appointment.... if things get worse I will call right away.

I'm sorry you are having symptoms which concern you and I hope it eases up quickly and doesn't get worse.
I actually saw my doctor earlier this week and he did say I was bordering mania apparently so he increased my lamictal and trazodone dosages. I do see him again in a little under 3 weeks, so if the sleeping issues are still occurring, I'll probably ask him.
Take care yourself and thank you!
