Have you been sleeping better post DBS?

Hi,
before dbs surgery, sleeping was a problem. It was a relief and a suffering at the same time. During the night, when the effect of the Stalevo ended, my legs became stiff, and I could not turn myself in bed. From July 2016, this is only a sad and faded memory.

I have found the best results for sleeping deeply is edible cannabis - I have used it only for this purpose for years- pre-DBS and experimenting now with it post DBS. It enables me to fall back to sleep after getting up to use the bathroom during the night. Otherwise, once I wake up I will be awake all night.


Me too. I am four years post op. A small ant of edible and i sleep all night..
