When I try to fall asleep it feels like an electrical surge passes through my brain. I think I jolt a little. It lasts maybe a second and then comes back five minutes later and is very annoying. It's been going on for maybe two weeks. I think it happened a few times before that, but nothing too significant.
Last night it was bad and kinda scary. The zaps were very intense and when they happened I would hear things. It was usually a couple guitar notes or a chord on the piano, but also sometimes actual music or the sound of sirens. I didn't get to sleep until 3am.
I also have been having trouble staying asleep, but no trouble falling asleep except for last night. I know I'm not getting enough rest. My mood seems stable though.
I'm on a bit of a med vacation right now. It's been maybe two months, but I can take Risperdal or Ativan PRN should I need to. I haven't taken the risperdal for two months but the Ativan I used it a couple nights a couple weeks ago. I was contemplating taking the Risperdal last night, but I didn't think the things I were hearing were from bipolar psychosis and wasn't sure if it would help.
