Years ago i would talk my Dr to switch me over to Resteral for awhile and take me off of klonopin. The first few times with the same doc it was 2 weeks, i was...

But i staye...

As a 3rd back up i may take Niquil. I sleep like a baby...

The only thing i can take is the Klonopin,i call that my main drug with a back up of Ultram and another backup of Niquil. Hey what can i say it works for me but everyone is different.

what i've found is some of the drugs we need the primary doc's feel like they need back-up to keep giving them to you. So they might send you to a specialist,get the documentation and then keep treating you.Problem is when you go through a crisis period then they don't know what to do all over again.

I understand sleep deprivation can lead to all kinds of (perceived) mental illnesses. Only after you've gotten good sleep for awhile can that mental illness be determined.. I'm speaking from experience here. I was on every psych and antidepressant med you can think of for years and years until the D...

LOVE your tude Hos! My dh is like that. It has to be a "manly" illness for him to get involved. Plus he's not a good speller and i can't stand it when people correct others.I say hey man as long as you can make it out get over it! I was at a local meeting about 3 weeks ago and there seemed to be equ...
