Kinda concerned as I haven't talked about that with this newish doctor before and I'm not sure where he'd draw the line. I just really don't have time to spend in a hospital right now, and think it'd be more than a little overmuch for what I'm experiencing.
I do wonder a bit whether dropping the trazadone has led to this state of affairs, it is an antidepressant after-all. I just felt proud of myself at the improvement in my sleep routine and being able to keep it going without the assistance.

@ rwwff, it's nice to see you here again. I'm glad to read that you have a good sleep routine. As for SI's, I'd certainly hope you could talk about them. I should think that if you have no set plan that your newish pdoc wouldn't push hospitalization. If we were hospitalized every time the thought went through our heads, many of us would be living at the hospital. I'm sure you can easily differentiate them from other past ones.
