The doc gave me Trazadone but I don't take it. Makes the dissociation and depersonalization episodes worse; that I generally feel like crap the day after.

Maybe a different med would help better. It is ok to live on less sleep for a week or two but it can unravel after that. Can you exercise to burn off some energy? Do all you can to stay away from triggers.
