last night i slept from 1 am to 11 am this has never happened before 


i took benadryl as usual half a tablet to relieve the itch and take care of the tremor and it put me to sleep yay 


i think my cycles are evfery day now up then downb every one or two days so fast the are a little controlled still unstable but there it is


the lamital keeps me a little up the lows really not that bad so i am happy not overly but i am ok with my bipolar feeling good and still creative and productive just a little too much but feel good about it

With the little sleep you get on the norm, your body has to make up at some point. Do you see your Pdoc anytime soon to discuss the changes? You've tried pretty much everything, so not sure what else you'd do at this point.

Have you ever used any Hypnotic Class sleep meds to try and regulate your sleep?
