Incredible

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share with you all my incredible experience last night.

I was experiencing augmentation from Sinemet, so I wanted to stop taking

it but was afraid that withdrawal might induce really bad RLS.

First I stopped taking Benedryl, which I've been taking every night for

years. That wasn't so bad. I realized that I sleep just fine for the

first 4 hours without Benedryl, and Benedryl only lasts 4 hours anyway so

why keep taking it?

But I've been afraid to stop Sinemet. One or two nights when I forgot to

take it my body went spinning into violent RLS, so I was expecting some

withdrawal. I stopped in at a local alternative health center to ask

about herbal supplements. The lady there looked it up in her reference

book and xeroxed some pages for me. One thing I hadn't tried before which

was highly recommended was a combination of chelated Calcium (1500-2000

mg), magnesium (1000 mg), and melatonin (3mg) before bed. So I bought

some and took it last night. I did NOT take my Sinemet, but I did have

some Tension Tamer tea like I've been doing every night.

I slept perfectly! NO RLS, so insomnia, no withdrawal. I feel almost

euphoric this morning, it's the first good night's sleep I've had since

Thanksgiving.

I realize that one night's sleep does not a cure make, but it was such a

relief to bypass Sinemet withdrawal. At least I have one more regimen in

my " bag of tricks " as Jill would call it.

Sweet sleep to all,

Kate
