SandyRI, i take Neurontin 1800 mg, Noritriptyline 25mg at night...plus i have a ketamine cream compound i got at Mayo Clinic...so since i take all this, i was hesitant to take anything else , but i dont think i have enough relief to sleep tonight :/
So sorry that sleep is such an issue for you. Early on in my CRPS journey I found it impossible to sleep no matter what medication I was given. Lack of sleep can really crank up pain and the emotional consequences of intractable pain.

Looking for relief I stumbled upon a medication called Trazadone which has been a fairly reliable workhorse medication for sleep issues with CRPS for years but is not used as much now in favor of newer and many times less effective drugs.

Trazadone is typically well tolerated and has few side effects. It had an immediate positive effect on night sweats, racing heart, pain and many other symptoms that were preventing me from getting restful sleep. Research suggested that the highest dose was 150 mg at bedtime. I am up to 100mg and have been there for about a year. It has been a wonder drug for me.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!
