I have to take the seroquil to manage my Bi-Polar. As far as energy levels. I feel like total shit when I wake up. I hit the sleep button sometimes for up to an hour. I cant get out of bed. I feel like im not there. I cant think straight and I feel hung over. I know its not good at all but my doc gave me ritalin 2x a day to help me wake up and stay focused. Plus I take 15-30mg of percocet to help woth my energy. I drink a NOS energy drink every morning and sometimes a NOS energy shot on top of it all. Ive tried not drinkin/taking that stuff but without it I am a total zombie and cannot function.

so we have different sleep issues...but the same zombie result.
definitely make sure you see the doc on a regular. Like i said, the lack of sleep does have a big effect on the body.
Sobe Essentials, Rockstar, Redbull....is what I live on.
docs were quick to give me meds you know (Oxycotin for constant headaches, Androgel, Cholesterol shiat)......but the Meds...or the sleep meds IMO only solve the symptoms...when they should be trying to find the root of the issuse.
and this is why i say go see a doc..one that will try to find the root of the issue...and not prescribe meds for the symptoms.......and if he/she can't help...change docs and see another.
IMO finding another sleep med is not enough.
