well, i guess i'm now also an official member of this insomnia club but love reading what all of you take for sleep, and sharing what i take for sleep. no doubt this pandemic has been a big factor for insomnia.

i switch up my meds so they don't poop out on me and i document every am how well they worked or didn't work. i take: 1/2 .05mg klonopin, 15mg. temazepam and progesterone nightly...or take 25mg seroquel, 7.5. temezepam and progesterone; both combos usually work; i have excellent sleep preparation but noticed over the past few days when it cooled down here in az. that adding an extra blanket helped with sleep (sorta like a weighted blanket i guess); i conferred w/my psych nurse and she said if the klonopin/temezepam/progesterone don't work, also take a 1/2 of seroquel and it has added benefits of working on the anxiety part of my bipolar; i notice that when i'm taking the seroquel for sleep that i don't have my usual, predictable anxiety around 2pm every day...she also said there are several new sleep meds on the market but they still would not address the bipolar disorder i've lived with for 40+ yrs. am i groggy in the am? hell yes, but it's worth it to have somewhat decent 8 hrs. of sleep, even if med-induced...but that's my personal opinion of course. we're all on a different sleep journey!
