Question: For the past 5 months my sleep has been greatly reduced to sleeping between 1 to 2 hours. Lately it is now that I don’t sleep at all, every couple of days i pop some xanax just to sleep mostly because i think i should.
I’m bipolar but it is under control now so i dont have the swings anymore but now I’m quite manic. If I sleep too much my mania gets out of control.I have no effects from lack of sleep I’m not tired groggy no memory problems. I’m wired all day the only stimulant i take is caffeine.The only thing that changed 5 months ago i went from rispeidone to lithium. They give lithium to manic people to calm them down but it took me from depressed to manic and completely removed my mood swings. The only thing that annoys me is i yawn a lot.
