I have bipolar & spend a lot of time in a mixed state where I'm hypo manic yet can become depressed at the drop of a hat. Consequently, I have major insomnia (maybe sleep 2-3 hours a night which is better than when I'm totally manic) despite taking 3 sedating meds (Trazodone, klonopin & Topamax). At one point doc wanted to add Seroquel; I refused. I don't want to end up like Heath Ledger, but I know I have to figure out how to get some sleep as this is not good for my body or mind--have suicidal thoughts--brain seems to be "misfiring." But I'm just not tired.--Suzy
