medications only seem to work the first night.
 
so I get vivid dreams andnight terrors and wake up with spine and head burning and tremors. took Neurontin. ambien, Xanax, then flexeril. all worked the first night. and then stopped.


but how long do I stay on all these meds if there is no relief.

perhaps it is time to accept certain symptoms and adjust to living with them.

Ambien (zolpidem)
Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine)
Neurontin (gabapentin)
Xanax (alprazolam)

Just a thought... all these drugs are CNS and respiratory depressants.

also. Ambien shouldn't be taken with food or immediately after a meal.

Thanks Lara. I know I'm taking a lot. I guess maybe doctors feel like they have to do something so they give lots of this stuff out for BI, I take all four of them and 2 advil pms at bed time.
