Health and a lifestyle question I suppose??

I am treated for bipolar 1, major depressive disorder, severe anxiety, and insomnia.

This passed week (two or three weeks I think actually) was the first time my doctor decided to try me on a sedative instead of regular “sleep aids” and it’s genuinely not doing a thing for me!

I had surgery today on one of my kidneys, and I even woke up before I was supposed to from the anesthesia (thank the good Lord that the procedure was done).

I have been given permission to take my pain medicine along with my sedative, but nothing is working. On the chance I do sleep, I am wide awake in about five minutes and struggle to fall back asleep- or even sleep at all.

I plan to email my doctor now (since I’m wide awake anyway), but is there anything you think that could help?

I can’t drink tea and essential oils give me hives 😭 I don’t intentionally consume caffeine- only water. If I have caffeine in my system it would be from something like chocolate, but I don’t eat nearly enough to where it’d affect me so strong.

I can’t read at night because book lights wake my family somehow. And I can’t drink milk. Lol.

Can anyone help??
