> For those of you that are regular Babblers you know that I've been having trouble getting my husband to sleep. But now he's either fully awake and up after 2-3 hours but then the next day he crashes and can't wake up. He's mean too. Do you think this is a sign of rapid cycling and he could be bipolar? He's dx'd as alchoholic but been dry for 8years. Thanks, Phillipa

Hi Jan,

I read it as a sign of depression, or a beginning of. Typical alcoholics are not bipolars. Nevertheless they cycle between normal state and depression. SSRIs with Tegretol/Trileptal are often useful.

But that is just a guess. Take care of him...
