Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I am sleeping 12 hours per night no matter what time I go to bed.
I have been on 150mg Seroquel for 7 months, 1000mg Epilim for 6 months and 25mg Lamictal and 20 mg Lexapro for 7 weeks.
Could it be the Medications doing it? I set my alarm to get up earlier but just can't do it. I go to the toilet then go back into a deep sleep.

I also take Klonopin for Panic Disorder and Lithium. I am Bipolar Type II. Tomorrow I see my shrink so we shall find out what's bugging Sam. Definitely talk to your doc about it. I've been know to page mine on the weekends if I need him. I only recently began feeling this bad. So it could just be mental and not a med or physical.
Good luck to you. Please call your doc. I wish you the best. I hope I helped a little. The Seroquel can cause excessive sleepiness, which is why I mentioned my dose and such.
Sam, I'm not on Seroquel XR, just normal Seroquel.
People are telling me I've just got into the habit but this is an overwhelming need to sleep.
