I feel great on this new med. no bad side effects like haldol except I'm not sleeping! I saw literally every hour last night! Every.hour.
And I can't nap. And it's 9pm and I still not tired enough to sleep. It's been 7 days since I've gotten decent sleep. I'm afraid I'm gonna get manic. I take 10mg melatonin and 25mg vistaril to sleep!

Have you called your doctor about this? Please do if you haven’t. not getting enough sleep is dangerous.

I took Ativan last night and got a little sleep. Wondering if increased vistaril might help but waiting to hear from my dr!

I haven't had any insomnia problems on it (on it since Saturday), but I'm on 3mg. Perhaps the dosage makes a difference(?)

I just looked it up and insomnia is one of the side effects.

OK your doctor didn’t call back? Call him again...and again and AGAIN until you get a response. Please be proactive. A bipolar person with med induced insomnia is an emergency!

He said to keep my meds the same and apparently my sleep will improve. Now I feel stupid for calling.

You are absolutely NOT stupid for calling! What you did was care about yourself enough to make that call because you are concerned. That’s a GOOD thing. Learning self care can be a little disconcerting and feel weird at first if we’re not used to doing it.

Gah, I was feeling the exact opposite with vraylar. I cannot keep my eyes open. Are you taking samples? I hear this stuff is expensive.

You are definitely NOT stupid for calling. Sleep is very important and you are smart and right and responsible to be concerned. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
