RE: Sleep

[Guest guest]

From what I read and I know it is true for me.. I never

Had any problem sleeping but felt sometimes like I didn't rest all night..

But when I take the flexeril I feel a lot better in the am.. It is the deep

REM sleep we don't get with fibro.. It is like something disturbs us when we

get

To that REM part of the sleep.

Bet

-- sleep

You know, I don't have trouble with going to sleep as long as I take the

xanax at night. But I will tell you, it doesn't matter how long I sleep I

still wake up feeling like I have not slept a wink. And I know I did because

my d/h tells me I was snoring. lol

Strange, some of us can't get to sleep, some of us sleep more than most

people, and none of us ever feel rested. On a good day, which is rare, I

might have the first 4 or 5 hours that I don't feel completely exhausted.

When I was still working, there were many days that I would get up

shower and go back to bed until the last possible minute because my

eyes were closing. I also had more than one experience of driving off

the road. I was very lucky that all but one time was in really rural

areas. One day in winter of 2006 I started to doze off when I was on

the highway. Someone honked at me and I was able to get into a lane.

I had crossed two already. I sure had an angel on my shoulders that

day.

I wonder if the Flexeril is ok to take with Lexapro? I could really use a

GOOD nights sleep.

I think so.. Lexapro is a different med.. Isnt it an anti

Depressant and flexeril is a muscle relaxer.. But your doctor or pharmacist

would know

Sleep. what a wonderful word. sleep. sleep.

I basically don't sleep more than 4 hours a night and I'm becoming a

real bi**h about it. Oh well.

I took Soma(muscle relaxer) while on Lexapro. I would call your

pharmacy and ask.

Hi Jane,

Does Nyquil's Nightime have diphenhydramine (Benadryl) in them? I

have frequent sinus problems also so may check in to Nyquil med when

I am at the store tomorrow. Last night barely slept 4 hrs again which

is becoming too common for me now. I took 100mg Benadryl before

finally falling asleep after 3am.

hugs,

Debbie J

I don't sleep well either. I take Trazodone and

sometimes zanaflex. I had a sleep study last month

and I was found to have mild sleep apnea. I also have

low lung function and was just diagnosed with

persistant asthma. I have an inhaler for morning and

night . I am having another sleep study with the cpap

machine at the end of the month.

My doctor is insistant that I will feel so much better

with using the CPAP machine. I hope so, because I

haven't had a good night sleep in over 7 years.

That's good to know, thank you. I did go to the doc today and saw the Nurse

Practioner who gave me scripts for generaic flrxeril and also Mobic along

with a script for a walking cane and a suggestion to see a rheumie in a

neighboring town. Guess we'll see what is next.

Is Zanaflex a muscle relaxer? I just requested some online from my regular

pharmacist where I get my tramadol. I read that a lot of fibro patients find

that it helps them sleep... which is one of my hugest problems.......

I requested some since SOMA is no longer " available " by online prescription in

Texas. I would not know what to do without my online meds. Doctors make me

feel like such a creep for getting refills when I am just trying to get by in

life. I wish I could solve the Xanax supply problem.... drug abusers give a

helpful medication such a bad name. I only take it as needed... but God forbid

if I should ask my Dr. for it....... yeah I am trying to get high because its

so much fun to be conked out. Drug addicts make things so hard for us who

really are in pain.

I have the computer by my bed, so I'm used to the monitors being on.though

I close my laptop, the two monitors on the desktop are always on...but I

also use the TV a lot as background sounds..the light doesn't bother me.
