My sleep is OK; I occasionally take an antihistamine like diphenhydramine whose anticholinergic properties offset the diarrhea problems with which lithium users are undoubtedly familiar. I have no idea if my sleep "architecture" is good, but I have dreams, etc.

I'm going to try Parnate 60mg/day to see if this dosage is less sedating. For now, I've taken to drinking coffee (which, for a bipolar, is something I've always avoided). If nothing else works, I may eventually try low-dose modafinil. We'll see.
