BipolarPr... View More Posts You can't sleep in your own bed alone at night because you're afraid you'll start halucinating again. And what do you do when you actually get to your bed and you can't fall asleep because you are too worried all the time. My pdoc won't perscribe me any anti anxiety meds. I asked for some ativan. On new years eve I was in the ER because some person knocked on my door and drove off and I couldn't calm down. The police escorted my paranoid ass to the er and they gave me some ativan to help calm my nerves. Which worked. Now, my pdoc won't perscribe me any when I ask....She said it's a red flag when someone asks for a benzo....I didn't even know ativan was a benzodiazapiene (sp?) in the first place. I posted this in the schizo forum instead of the bipolar forum because it's my paranoia that keeps me from sleeping alone in my own bed when my husband is up late working nights....I need some thought out advice. No nagging please.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Hope things get better for ya.. Hugs to you...
He was supportive maybe you should try different doctor and tell them your situation, a lot of time just to get your business they will listen to you and give you maybe a small amount for those times.
The magic cocktail for 7 hours of sleep at night for me is a 2 mg clonezepam (klonapin) and 15 mg tomezepam.
It varies with our bodies. My pdoc has BP also and believes getting us stable begins with getting us to sleep.
The klonapin has a longer half life than ativan. Ativan last six hours. The calming effect of klonapin is 12 if I am not mistaken.
It may take trying different things. Good Luck!
