> actually, topamax too! that will totally make you LOSE weight and sedate you a lot.
I second that. I take Topamax for my BP-NOS, and it helped me to actually sleep again.
It helps to regulate my sleep.Before it, sleep was something I was so desparate for. It would take ages to get to sleep, and I would wake up 12+ times thru entire night. Then I'd wake up feeling a tad crashy and in a fog.
Now, I go to sleep almost right away. I get 5 hours of basic uninterrupted sleep and feel ok. Then for rest of night, I have dreams that I remember, and I wake up at times then go back to sleep to dream again. Then, I'm pretty much ready to go for the day and overall fairly rested.
So, overall, I would rate my sleep as OK now.
