I am on a rollercoaster descending into darkness. No sleep in 5 days, not on meds... scared. I thought I could manage it solo...

You need to call now. You dont want to get worse over the weekend and then only have a limited options for help.

Just call you doc and get back on your meds if you discontinued them.

hope that what sleep you got helps some today
i know youre scared. sleep will help. yoga, melatonin and zopiclon are my daily must haves, but when im manic they dont always work. maybe some physical exercise too? i wouldnt start any discontinued meds though... not without calling a doctor first |

Horrible. Was hypomanic i think yesterday and last night felt like going jogging in my pj's at 3 am. Started old meds (lamotrigine) again, but today feel like a zombie...
Tomorrow I have to go to work... Will be hard to pretend to feel normal... |

Just making sure you know to start lamotrigine at low dose (25) and work up slowly from there. You could get sjs if you go too fast, even if you have been on it at higher dose and were ok before. You might want to ask your pdoc for something short term to cover you while you build back up to a therapeutic lamotrigine dose.
