Please help! I am bipolar, not actively manic but am suffering from insomnia. I'm barely getting any sleep and I worry that this is going to make me crazy by pushing me into mania or depression. My p-doc put me on Trazadone 300-450mg to help me sleep. I would sleep deeply for only several hours; however, I would relax so much that I would empty my bladder in bed in my sleep without waking up. She switched me to Neurontin 1200mg and the same thing has happened. So I am stopping Neurontin effective immediately. My p-doc is increasing my Risperdal from 4mg to 6mg tonight (I was recently as high as 8mg) in hopes that it will help me sleep. Does anyone have any suggestions of meds I could take that will help me sleep without relaxing me so much and putting me in such a deep sleep that I pee the bed?!?!? I'm also taking Lithium 1800mg, Klonopin 2mg, Lexapro 5mg, all at night, and none are new meds for me. Please help!
