Suggestions for requesting meds? daytime sleeping

May 13, 2002

I would like to try some meds that other list memebers have said works for

them. The problem seems to be that when i've asked my doctor for something

specific--she seems to go out of her way to NOT prescribe whatever I

request. For example, I requested klonopin for the nightime spasms & teeth

grinding--she prescribed skelexin--which I tried-but did not work at all on

me. I'd like to try vicodin, klonopin and provigil; I have pain that

averaged out to 6.5-I kept track for 3 weeks--and am wondering if I ask for

tylenol #3, valium and adderall if she will then prescribe what i'd like to

try? My doctor has suggested arthritis strength tylenol for the pain-I am

not supposed to take NSAIDs, they caused stomach problems-but that's about

all she has prescribed up until this point-none of them worked a bit.

The only time I can get good sleep is from about 4 AM-noon. At night, I

sleep so lightly that I wake up every 90 minutes or so, and if I hear my

husband talk in his sleep-I am not sound asleep and can tell him what he

said...or if the TV is on, I can hear the TV and remember it even when i'm

'asleep'
