Getting very irritatable from lack of sleep. 3-4 hrs is not enough. The doc did call in a script but my insurance won't fill it and they won't let me buy it without my insurance ok. What a mess. I was afraid of this happening. I've been on 1-2 10mg pills for almost three yrs but most docs aren't comfortable with that. I tried to explain that sleep or rather the lack of sleep is a huge trigger for me and that my whole life sleep has been a problem for me.

I used to wait for my parents light to go out give it an hour then sneak out the window and go play with my dog or lay on the picnic table and watch the stars. In winter time I would just use a flashlight to read under the covers. They now say migraines are linked to bipolar and I had horrible ones until menopause. I would lay naked on the tile in the bathroom the only cool dark place in the house. Naked because I couldn't stand the feeling of clothes or sheets on my skin. These docs don't get how important sleep is for a wired bipolar. J

Just gotta hang on until Jan 6th when I see the pdoc they assigned to me. But I'm in a different state, mn where they are far more conservative with meds than tx.

The irritatableness is bad cause we are going to have 17 people here Christmas Day...OY. Moms house is big but not for 15 adults and two kids under 5. My poor cat. He's going to be hiding all day.
