Running out of med options

[misswonderland]

It's getting frustrating to find medication that will work for my sleep. I think my neurologist and psychiatrist dread seeing me most of the time. Between the cardiac issues and narcolepsy I don't have many options.

I was on Prazosin and liked it but with the new cardiac issue I can't take it because of it lowering my blood pressure. Klonopin and trazadone and I can't wake up in the morning. Seroquel had bad side effects. Im on ativan as a band aid pretty much until I see a sleep specialist in my neurologist practice at the end of the month.

I feel like getting a good night's sleep is hopeless.

Hugs. I know it sucks when you can’t sleep.

I know this is going to sound dumb but have you tried herbal remedies like melatonin or herbal calming teas with any success?

 

[misswonderland]

I tried melatonin to no success. I don't really know anything about tea.

Camomille tea does help to relax you. I am so sorry that you are going through this without much help.

Have you gotten to the sleep specialist yet? I definitely suggest that since you're sensitive to certain options. They seem like they will be your best help ;)

I'm taking Sonata now. My psychiatrist is trying to see how it works. It has been pretty good so far.

Good to hear!
