Hi,
I started posting in 2001 and haven't been here in a while.
In May, I went off Serzone and am now just on Wellbutrin (used to be on Wellburtin/Serzone/Depakote). I'm a diagnosed bp II, but with my pdoc's guidance, I am off any mood stabilizer. So far, absolutely no hypo mania or mania, but a bit of anxiety has surfaced, due to not being on an SSRI anymore, I believe.
I now wake up at night and cannot go back to sleep...I lie awake and worry, I think about all the stuff on my to do list, I get mad at myself for being up...I eventually end up falling asleep but am exhausted all day. I'm worried the lack of sleep could trigger mania...
Wondering if I should go back to being on an SSRI with the Wellbutrin to help with this.
Any recs for sleeping aids that won't make me groggy the next day? I've tried Calm's Forte, Valerian....Tylenol PM.
Thanks!
