Think I'm becoming manic again

Posted by Horned One on June 25, 2008, at 7:11:29

Last night was bad. I had so much energy I didn't want to get into bed, like a force was pushing up through my feet. Still, I took my zopiclone and forced myself to lie down. Turned off the lights and as the silence and the darkeness crept in, I began hallucinating. I could hear somone breaking into the house, footsteps on the stairs, voices whispering, shapes shifting in the shadows, sinister presences. The moment I dozed off I was woken by a flash of light, a strange blue-white orb floating above my bed. That I woke this morning to find Britain is in the midst of an alien invasion (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1336870.ece) was of no comfort, but at least the fact that I woke means that I must have eventually slept.

My social worker is on holiday, so I have no-one to contact, but at least I have no lingering psychotic symptoms during the day. Some possible points of interest:

* Just started spltting my 100mg dose of lamotrigine to 50mg morning and night. Perhaps the night-time dose is disrupting my sleep?

* Took a dose of codeine before retiring, so maybe the extra dopamine combined with the lack of distraction brought on mild quasi-psychotic symptoms?

Benzos usually do the trick, so I would ask for some lorazepam to see me through, but until my social worker gets back next week I'm on my own. Hopefully this was just a one off and won't happen again tonight.
