I even took benedryl and that did nt help me fall asleep. Im confused as to why I am not sleeping. and what the possible reasons could be. I would like to know what more can be done by a doctor to help me sleep.
Hi dear. I understand your concern. Bipolar disorder has two phases. One is mania and 2nd is depression.  Chat Doctor. If you have bipolar depression then Aquitaine has good review in treatment, and it is useful to initiate sleep also. If you have bipolar mania then olanzapine can be useful. But do take advise from your treating doctor. Consult him and take advise. Discuss with him. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. . Happy to help you further. Thank you.
