Well, on Monday, I was feeling manic and generally just in a "jazzed up mood" all day. When I took my nightly anti-psychotics, they did not take the edge off of the mania. Not being able to sleep, normally, would make me feel tired the next day, but when you are entrenched in the affective portion of the disorder, you don't miss the sleep much.
I was up until 1:30am on Tuesday morning and then later that morning at around 6:30am, I was up and ready to go. As I said previously, I did not miss the sleep. However, come Tuesday night around 8pm, I decided to head my continuing mania off at the pass. I took my medication an hour early and fell asleep around 9:15pm. Thank goodness!
Keeping a log of your thoughts and emotions is key to your successful treatment by a psychiatrist. An expensive log book is not necessary. Just pick up a spiral notebook or three ring binder to log in your experiences. That way, you can express your concerns to your treatment team in an accurate and concise manner.
