So the melatonin I take will whiten my fur and make me obese?
Cool.I know why my docs say that insomnia is not a problem.
It's because they think that what they have to help will prove to be more of a problem than the insomnia.
And I expect they are right.But for you it is different.
Your feeling that insomnia is a risk factor for going manic deserves serious consideration.It is not our fault that the only hypnotics some want to take are habituating.
My mother had agitated depression. In spite of 9 months in hospital and full time complaint she never got treated for insomnia.
ECT? Yes.
But they only ever gave her Valium (5mg) for her insomnia.
Once I was looking after her and gave her a couple of Normison (temazepam).
Next morning she told me with gratitude that it was the best sleep she'd had in many months.
