Doc says I have to call her when the insomnia gets bad again (went from hypo mania to depression without warning--a deep depression). She wants me to sleep 6 hours a night, which so far is impossible for me despite all the sedating meds I take. She wants me to take some Seroquel. I'm resisting. I already take so much stuff.

Insomnia is not good for your health--bad for blood pressure (on meds for that), bad for mood control (yeah got that), bad for weight control (me again), bad for memory (what was I talking about?)...

Just plain bad to not let your body & mind get rest so I think it is an issue to be addressed (especially if you are bipolar & have the mania issue). I don't think it's a "just don't worry about it" issue (at least from my experience).--Suzy
