As I type this it is nearly 3 am. We were watching TV pretty late. Hubby was falling asleep so said we should go to bed, but I'm not the least bit tired. No, not hypomania/mania. Turns out I forgot my evening meds when I was sure I had taken them. I took them maybe 20 minutes ago at 2:30 am. Better for me to take them than not at all. If I didn't, I would not sleep at all. Then I get very unwell, mentally, even somewhat psychotic, within 24 hours. I know from experience. It's dangerous for me to skip. I once asked my old psychiatrist if it was a side effect of Seroquel withdrawal. He said no, that it was my bipolar disorder. Not sure if he was right or if it was simply a "what came first chicken or the egg" situation. I will likely fall asleep at around 4 am since I took them.

I can get away with missing my morning meds for one day, but if I miss two days in a row I start suffering minor consequences. But, can't miss those evening meds, at all!
