So Benadryl can be the short term solution while you get an appointment with your Pdoc, and try a more long term solution. My doctor said my sleep issues is because I have hypomania running in the background of my consciousness, which won't let my mind shut off.
She made me double my Geodon and go on 200mgs of Seroquel.
You can also try a mood stabilizer like lamictal. Lamictal is suppose to be weight neutral... it takes forever to get up to 200mgs though because everyone needs to titrate up 25mgs ever few weeks until 200mgs or 300mgs stable dosage.

Thanks, I'll try some Benadryl later. I slept so much when my moodstabilizer was increased so I don't know wtf has been happening.
I took a klonopin earlier to see if that would help me sleep. I only use them in emergencies. I was able to relax a little but still not sleep
I see my doctor on the 15th. It's been over 3 months since I've seen her since she was out for a medical reason for awhile.
I'm just so angry I'm afraid I'll start hallucinating more, I would like to be dead at least I could have some peace
