Need meds to sleep.
Something to wake.

Anyone ever take Provigal? I find it to be the Devil's own drug.
(I do take aricept and the like, which are for altzheimer's), it's great for the TBI, but Provigal is just speed to me, and really cranks up the pain.

Of course, the CPAP makes me feel like I"m in an alien movie with a "face hugger" stuck on me. But, It REALLY helps me with alertness the next day! And generally feeling rested.
I've used cervical pillows, and etc...

Who has sleep woes, and what do you do for them?

Hi Pete,

I really don't sleep at night. I do take klonopin 1mg at night, but it doesn't do much good. The one I have noticed since being dxed with RSD is that I sweat a lot especially at night(which I find very annoying). I also have a hard time find a comfortable position to sleep in. Pete have you tried Melatonin. Good luck
