Rotating medications? Re: Re: Rx: Arthrotec anyone?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the thought . I was on ambian for awhile and got the most

excruciating headaches. I would wake up with them and then they would build

throughout the day from there. Prior to that they had me on elavil which

increased my jaw dislocation in my sleep, increasing the sleep apena which I

was taking the medication for anyway, Of the three (ambian, elavil and

tylenol pm) I find the tylenol pm to be the least invasive.

I never did a sleep study. One doctor wanted me to, but with my

school schedule at the time I was not up to it, and up till recently

I was doing okay with sleeping. Lately, I have been having problems

again and my doctor wants me to just try the Benedryl route and see

if that works. So far it has not helped but sometimes i need to

give things more time to start working. It seems that every year

around this time I become an insomniac and then a couple of months

later it goes back to normal. no idea why.

Take care,
