I have been diagnosed with Bipolar but have been pretty stable on my medication for years now. Lately I'm so sleepy I can barely function for more than a few hours at a time. I think I slept about 18 of the last 24 hours and I still feel awful. I'm not depressed though.

It may be time to talk to your doc and adjust your meds.
As people age, their body chemistry changes, and I would be willing to bet that this is what's going on. See your doc as soon as you can - trying to function like that isn't healthy and you're not going to be happy till you get re-stabilized.

Maybe your doctor can prescribe a different medication for you. I feel the same way. Always tired, doctor changed my med, but so far, no diffrence.

You may need to switch meds. It may pass, tho. Give yourself a week to see if this changes. I have days like this. It may last for several days and then I pull out of it.

COULD BE A SIDE EFFECT FROM THE MEDICATION, I WOULD TALK TO A DOCTOR ASAP. SLEEPING 18 HOURS STRAIGHT WHEN YOU ARE NOT DEPRESSED IS NOT NORMAL.

Are you sure you're not actually coming down with an illness? If you're not depressed then it sounds like your body might be fighting something off.

Have you been on any anti biotics lately or have had alot of anti biotics in your life? If you have, go to yeastsyndrome.com......if not, I dont know why youre so tired. I hope you figure it out tho.
Im also bp...I dont think its related...to you being so tired.

you might need to change your meds. If you have been on your meds for a while you might have a chemical inbalace that needs to be corrected. Good luck
