Guest guest Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I took those 2 meds you use for about a year . I was very very tired in the afternoon as they are long acting. IN fact if you stop Klonipin it takes 2 or 3 days to get out of your system. I was using c pap at the time too as I had sleep apnea. I do find pain relief for my muscles and bladder with flexeril and yes it helps me sleep too. I use it sometimes. . But I am tired the next day. Sometimes I take 5 mg early as in 4pm..and then It wears off for me by noon. But thats me. It does not effect my hubby at all like that. ANother friend cant even take a tiney amount or he is a zombie for 3 days. Everyone is different. I now use shorter acting meds lunesta and zalpolon ( sp ?) . Both of these are short acting... lunesta like 5 or 6 hours and the other one line 2 or 3 hours. I am not as tired in the afternoon. Also melatonin tea or cammomile tea is relaxing as well. I hope to swim more as this helps too. Sometimes Im good and do it. In the last year my left wrist( a ligament I think ) was inflammed and also knees. Walking..only a little, swimming only a little...so annoying!! Why my friends her have to be fit and running everywhere like litle marines I dont know. HOWEVER !!! I can do a little more this year ... see things can get better. Even at 56 Hugs Liz Still since 1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
