hi,
I had a great year - perfect sleep and only occasional mild mood swings, Towards the end of November I had the flu; then I caught another infection and had to take a Z pack.
Since then, I've had bad problems with waking up too early at 5 or 6 am or unable to fall asleep.
I'm scared suddenly my illness has gotten worse or is it having had the flu and/or the time if year? I don't know what to do...taking an Ativan helps me get a good nights sleep, but of course, I don't want this to be a long-term fix.
Thanks,
RobBipolar NOS

Did you tell your doc? Not heard this before. What did the flu turn into an infection so you required the zpack? Phillipa

a time release melatonin preparation should mix fine with your medications. It might help improve sleep / stability.
you might consider adding some folic acid and / or cocoa
