Guest guest Posted November 29, 1998 Report Share Posted November 29, 1998 My name is robert. In 1982 I was diagnosed with nocturnal myoclonus , which , if I am understanding correctly, is now plmd? My diagnosis was made following a sleep study at Hoag hospital in Newport Beach, Ca. I was prescribed the lowest dose of Klonopin 0.5mg, and sent on my way. The Klonopin has helped me over the years, but my legs still move at night. I am often tired during the day, but do not know whether my fatigue is due to the lingering effect of the klonopin, OR, whether the Klonopin is simply not completely effective at keeping my leggs still, and consequently allowing my microarrousals to continue to rob me of sleep. I am now in the process of seeking out a different sleep specialist , both for a second opinion, and to possibly get newer types of medications. During my initial study, it was shown that I was getting deprived of REM and DEEP sleep. Just yesterday I read in a health book that Inositol increases REM. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
