I'm feeling a little better today, I slept about 6 hours using the Ambien alone. I didn't take any Valium or Zyprexa as directed by my pdoc because they are long acting and may be causing me to feel sleepy during the day. I was still sleepy this morning but I think its getting better. Could be just an Ambien hangover. We'll see how the day goes. The frustrating part in all this is I was mostly stable for 5 years, then crashed in November last year. I was out of work until the second week in February this year. Was just getting stable again when we tried Paxil for my depression. The Paxil eventually made me hypomanic and messed up my sleep routine and its been out of whack ever since. The Ambien seems to be helping me get back on track but its taking time. Since my crash I've lost a lot of self esteem and confidence to cope with this disorder and my environment. I haven't given up though this disorder is kicking my @$$. peace & hugs
