[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 329553, member: 1963"] I'd lose this psychiatrist in a hurry. First of all, Vistaril is an old line antihistamine and can make a lot of people very agitated and irritable instead of making them drowsy. Benadryl, actually is sold as the ingredient in OTC sleep medications and that too can have the opposite affect. Also, it is commonly known that "sleep hygiene" is crucial to the well-being of those suffering from mood disorders of any kind. This means both getting enough sleep AND sleeping and waking at the same times each day. The worst thing you can do for a bipolar person is to let them sleep whenever they want to. In fact, this often leads up to outright mania or hypomania. It is why so many of us are on medications for sleep [/QUOTE]
