Hang in there WC!!! Rooting for you as always!!

I am doing REALLY well. I had like a manic/cycling thing happening two days ago, but I am smart enough to realize that even though the Seroquel is working and I am doing everything I am supposed to do by eating and sleeping on time, I am NOT getting enough overall sleep. Some people can function with just 4-5 hours sleep, but as a person with bipolar, I KNOW I need more than to reset this manic mind. I decided that I am going to ask my pdoc for another Seroquel increase, (even though I absolutely HATE meds), but I NEED for it to knock me out harder so I can sleep more.

I have been coping by taking a Melatonin pill to FORCE a full 8 hour sleep, but it makes me SUPER groggy and slow the next day. I am hoping the new Seroquel med increase will do the job so I don't have to worry about taking the Melatonin anymore.

Guess what bipolar? I am onto you, and I am kicking your butt!!
