The first thing would be to call your pdoc, or whoever you see for your your meds. Anytime you feel as unstable as you are feeling, you must let your doc know. Your meds may need to be adjusted and other than that,there is little anyone here can do other than be supportive, but the meds are the place to start.

Hope you get some relief soon, not sleeping can be the cause of so many symptoms of mood instability.

The previous posters are right on with their advice.

Don't beat yourself up and follow up with your doctor as soon as you can; I have found ativan to be immensely helpful to me for agitation and that "on edge" feeling you have right now. It is fast acting and gives me much needed relief.

From the sound of it, you go through many ups and downs (like me) and a mood stabilizer may be helpful, too. Talk to your doctor about it.

made it to the morning and my pdoc has upped one of my meds. The mood stabilizer is at its limit, the benzo is one place to go when I feel panicked as I did last night and we upped my zyprexa iin hopes that it will help with sleep and then the rest of the mood issues will fall into place.

I've heard zyprexa is great for sleep. I take valium but it's doing the opposite of what it should right now. I do the feeling of being at a loss. First higher doses of benzos kept me awake now I can't wake up???? Phillipa
