Hi. Sorry to jump in, but I saw someone else mentioned Topamax, and I was also going to suggest it as an alternative. I have been on it for years -- for pain, seizures, and myoclonus -- and I have found it to be a fantastic med.

Instead of being metabolized by the liver, it goes through the kidneys, so it seems like a better bet -- you have to drink lots of water, but overall it's better for you.

From the first day I started Topamax, I began sleeping better at night. It has changed my life. One more option for us to check. :-)
