Overslept II
Overslept again. From 10:00 pm to 7:30 am. I'm going to out the Thorazine (100 mg) and Temazepam (30 mg) for now and then when I see the psychiatrist ("Walrus") again next week, I'll get him to give me scripts for the lower amounts. This amount of sleep is just unacceptable. I have things to do and workouts to complete. I like the solitude of the trail in the hours before dawn. No one around and quiet. You get a chance to think and to work out what is bothering you. This amount of sleep is too much.

9 1/2 hours of sleep...isn't that long, and might be what your body needs to heal...
I got him beat. 13 hours of sleep. hah I like my sleep.
I know this because my CPAP records my hours of sleep online.
NOOOOO.... Please don't out the Thorazine…. If you're able to cut back on the Temazepam great but the Thorazine is what's taken care of the mania
If you want call your pdoc and see if you can cut it down..... You just got out of the hospital sweetie..... Don't start playing with your meds if you want to be stable.... Work with your doctor
Maybe you need a little extra sleep..... You lost many days of sleep when you were manic...… Big hug.....xo
Suncloud - Thanks.... so keep the Thorazine but reduce the temazepam. I need to sleep around six hours, and nine is way too much. I will email the PDoc.
I want to be my normal, not what someone else's. My average is 5-6 hours of sleep and lots of activity. Now, I have 9 hours of sleep and sleepy head most of the day.
7 hours a night is considered the minimum. 7 to 9 is normal
