I was wondering if this was the zzquil causing the issue. I've been pretty stable before this week. Even applying for work and stuff.
You might want to ask your doctor.

I don’t have bipolar disorder but any kind of sleep aide, even taken on a very rare occasion, makes me either agitated or extremely irritable or puts me in a bad mood next morning.

Yes it makes me feel weird. I only take it when I can’t fall asleep and I am getting stressed that I won’t be able to handle commute in the morning and work day without sleep. But then sometimes I feel I’d rather be sleepy next day than feel like that
