About 72 hours. Then I went bananas. I’d get to a hospital if I were you.

Also about 72 hours, not now though. I think sometimes I’m too afraid to fall asleep because of a fear to never wake up again.

I don’t normally hallucinate. Today I thought a small tree was moving people. It tripped me out.
Five days, in 2003, when I was severely manic and full-on psychotic.

5 days. The third time I went into the hospital. I begged for Ambien all they would give me is Remeron.
Now I take Lunesta and I sleep every night. If my doctor ever tries to take me off of it I am finding a new doctor. I will never be suicidal and can’t sleep again. That really sucks

In 2016 when I was manic and psychotic I got very little sleep - I soon went to the hospital.

I stayed up 5 days before in a psych ward. I was running around like a madman.

About the same. I was up for 3 days before my psychotic break.
Can’t you call somebody to ask for something to help you sleep? You need to sleep.

Just two days when I first got diagnosed in a group home. It was enough to make me hallucinate and it scared the hell out of me.

I’m going in since it’s the only way to get something to sleep. Thanks for the concern you’re a good person Lola.

I hope it works out and you get some sleep man.
I hope so. Sleep deprivation is known as one of the worst forms of torture. This has CIA written all over it.
If I don’t sleep well I get psychotic no matter how many antipsychotics I take. Hopefully you aren’t suicidal too. Because that really sucks.
Ya. I would go see somebody before you hospitalize yourself. I would go to urgent care. They will only give you a couple of pills until you can get in to see your doctor.
The only thing that works for me is Ambien and Lunesta. I have tried Remeron, Trazodone and Seroquel and they do nothing for me. But they work for some people.
My sleeping pill is my most important med.

Not sure. Probably several days is the longest. But this became normal practice for a month long substance binge.
I’m excluding any further details, but you should get the point.
Basically, will never ever stay up that long again.
Severe hallucinations and everything else with it
No longer than 72 hours. If I go as long as 72 hours without sleep, I take myself to the VA emergency room. I don’t let myself get too far gone.
I’m in the er right now and social worker is saying I’m in psychosis. I don’t think I am. I’m tired…
