Is this something like what Mike Birbiglia suffers?

I have experienced it and discussed it with my doctor. The two meds they say treat it are klonopin and melatonin. Since I was already on Klonopin I was told to take 8 to 9mg of melatonin. I guess it helped because I ran out of melatonin and started acting out again but not as bad.
