Or people talk about taking Benedryl (it would be wise to see if there are any interactions listed on the web - or call your pharmacist), possibly even other sleep inducers. I am amazed at how often 2 Tylenol will let me get to sleep - I'm not even aware that I'm hurting. Or whatever else you are used to doing to calm yourself down.

Hi,
the hyperness was on the verge, which is why I wanted to drink and go out. The drinking and such just made it worse.
When you say on "these meds". which meds are you talking about? mood stabilizers or just all medication in general?
yes, I know it. But it's not to black and white as this - it's not good to do, it's makes me feel worse hence DON'T DO IT!. I wish it were that easy!
thanks for your concern.
