Severe insomnia for four years: literally could not get to sleep at night, so finally prescribed with small dose (250mcg) of Clonazepam.
Very welcome, works well. Couldn’t believe it!!!
HOWEVER, I do wake four hours after taking it. I am so happy to get any sleep, so am scared to stop taking it. Am intending to reduce it as benzos are TERRIBLY ADDICTIVE!
Insomnia is a miserable symptom of PD, but meds are so compromising.some time I think the doctors dont see how bad no sleep is
Hi
, It is really frustrating to try and convince doctors how bad your symptoms are. I know it can be difficult, but have you considered seeking a second opinion? Best, Lauren (ParkinsonsDisease.net Team)
I Have an appointment for Jan. he is booked the office will if something opens sooner
this isfor a second opinionHi
, please keep us posted on how your appointment goes. Best, Lauren (ParkinsonsDisease.net Team)
so I went to my doctor who has been treating me for a few years now, He gave me different sleep meds. I called him after a couple of weeks of trying the new med and told him they weren't working. He told me there was nothing more he could do and to look into a sleep study. the total sleep meds ie tried were 2. I think it really is time for a new doctor
I can imagine how frustrating it is to hear there is nothing more that can be done from a doctor. Our community gets it. I see you mentioned earlier having an appointment scheduled in January for a second opinion. I truly hope this appointment proves helpful. Will be thinking of you and sending many good vibes. Please reach out anytime. Kindly, Jessica, Team Member
