Ok real quick heres the run down,finaly found a combination that seems to be working,this isnt so much a big deal as i have in the past,but for now its working and the pas 5 days the social aspect of my life has changed dramaticaly.
NOW the problem,i seem to NOT want to sleep,my concern,that i might be semi-maniac.I am sleeping cause im taking my sleeping pill,but im jumping up and staying awake at times i should be staying in bed,i simply dont want to sleep.
Should i be concerned with this? Has anyone else noticed this in their case.......is this a common element when one is exper a remission whether its a short lived one or whatever.Dont get me wrong im still a person with some issues,but i have a normal energy level,im not laying down,im talking a lot,not to much,im wanting to go to public places and see things and people.
This sleep aspect is really concerning me,why do i not WANT to go to sleep?
Just for fyi purposes my med change is currently.
AM - 40 MG OF PARNATE/PARTIAL PIEACE OF A nuerotion tab,approx 2oo mg/3-4 kava kava capsules/klonopin or xanax less than .25 mg meaning a bite/liq deprenyl.Around 30 min after this settles i listen to my body and if i feel hyper ill take tiny bit more nuerotion,if i feel depression still on my back ill take partial tab of caffiene.
I also have been able to cut back on smoking termondously.Lets see how long this runs .
But again anyone with some insight,whether just opinion or fact please share about the sleep.THANK YOU ahead of time.

Hey me again : )
Short answer, which I couldn't get out before was: If I didn't have to go to work I could stay up all night long and be fine with it, but I suffer like a dog during the day when I don't sleep enough. Enjoying the wakefulness is such a treat, but at a certain point it becomes borrowed fun.
Tho kinda nice to be having these problelms as opposed to can't wake up and get out of bed ever, huh?

willyee,
I have many of the same questions that you do. Why do I not want to go to sleep. Why do I wake at 3 am totally awake and unable to sleep? I've taken a variety of sleep drugs to attempt to shut me down, but they only work half-way.. and with side effects.
I try to conform my sleeping to the 8 to 5 work world so I can make a freakin living. It's a complicated issue. Some animals sleep sproraticlly or literally with one eye open as a susvival mechanism. Maybe I'm not one of those regular people who sleep regular hours. There are lots of examples of highly creative people who slept all kinds of wierd hours, or who didn't sleep for days. Just some thoughts. I have no anwsers. Recently I switched from Lunesta to Restoril and had horrible nightmares.
nice web-page btw. some of those girls would keep me awake. ;-)
warm regards ~Jake

Willyee I hate to go to bed and stay up late. It's because I feel so horrible, negative in the am and better at night. Fondly, Phillipa

I heard an interview with Ray Charles a while back. He said he never went to bed before 5 or 6 am.

Very true,its common i think for depressive to feel better at night,i believe there was something mentioned about the magnetic waves or something technical that eases up on us at night.
