this has never happened. .5mg. don't take it that often. when freaking out a lot, a few times in about 10 days. 3-4 times? sometimes up to 2-3mg. and then i will go weeks or months with only the occasional .5mg in the evening if i'm beginning to get into freak out mode. (1-2 times a month)

and tonight. i'm just awake. and thinking of ALL the things i have to do. and thinking that i can get most of them done in a few hours and then get 3 hours of sleep or so before i go to work in the morning. hm.

interesting. don't quite know what to think of this. delayed reaction? i guess time will tell.

sounds like it has nothing to do with the pill you took. Rather the reason you took the pill. Wide awake, little need for sleep....sound like a bit of hypo/mania.

Be cautious.

a.m.

Yes, sounds like hypo mania to me too. I have been there many times before.

Call your Pdoc. The sooner the better. I don't want to see you in a Bipolar II Depression, for sure!

Agree it could be a bit of mania, but maybe it's just old fashioned stress. I have Narcolepsy and GAD, but even I can't sleep when I'm super stressed. Usually, .25mg Xanax knocks me cold, but if I'm uber stressed, it seems to have no effect at all. I'd call your doc right away, but thought I'd toss in another perspective for fun! Severe stress seems to override everthing for me, but maybe I'm just weird
