Hello,Looks like either prodrome of mania or just anxiety. Whatever amongst the two you must sleep well as this itself will cure you more than 50%. The diagnosis only gets clear with time in most cases.I find zolpidem 12.5mg gives good sleep at night. If not, then patinets usually sleep with lorazepam 2-4mg. Take whatever suits you- for a week and maintain a regular sleep pattern.Avoid alcohol or smoking completely as they will increase the problem many folds If in between you develop increased anger, desire to command or over confidence, want to spend more money unnecesarity pr pick more fights- then.it is mania disorder and you must see a psychiatrist near you and get through eveluation.It is common problem which usually develops after a stressful event and can be handled nicely if intervention is done in time.Wish you good health.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Neuropsychiatry
