No sleep again

I had so much energy last night. I could not go to sleep. On the abilify, it knocked me out and now I am off it and I can't sleep...I can't win. I tried to take half of the abilify last night and took 3 xanax again and nothing. I had to go for a walk because I was paceing in my house. That didn't help. I am starting the Lithium on Sunday night. I have plans this weekend that I am NOT cancelling b/c Li made me tired, nausous and have diarreah. I have a slow week next week so I will start it sunday.


One minute I am depressed and the next I am flying. Up and down and all over the place. I don't know what later will bring. I HATE this.


I am sick of this illness. I kniw I have to deal with it forever, so I may as well get used to it.


Oh, on the other thread about memory loss. I thought it was just me...OMG, I am glad I am not alone but sad it affects so many people who take these psych meds. I hate not being able to remember things.
