I'm still having an enormous amount of trouble sleeping on 25mg of Seroquel, which I've been taking for sleep for a couple of years now. It used to pretty much make me pass out after a while, and now it's hardly working at all (50mg works but gives me the hangover from hell). Not sleeping much is beginning to really affect my mood. I was revved up for some days and now I'm feeling very down and irritable (which may or may not be BP-related, maybe it's just a normal reaction to not sleeping?).

I'm going to call my pdoc soon, but before I do, I'd love some suggestions on sleep meds that are NOT AP's. Abilify (along with Lamictal) has kept me stable for so long, I don't want to shake the boat and add another psych med. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what regular sleep meds work and if any have affected your mood. I mean, I say I don't want to rock the boat, but maybe even a regular sleep med would put me off-kilter. I just don't know. I'm lost here...

Thanks!
