OK guys,
Second day on 60mg with MD permission. Nardil has started to work consistently - great! I feel like the old me again.
HOWEVER:
I forgot how bad the insomnia can be. I used to have a temazepam Rx, but won't see my provider until next week.
In the meantime, I have a few options:
1. Take more Klonopin at bedtime, then tell the doc I had to do this.
I am OK with this for the time being.
2. Unisom (doxylamine succinate)
Cheap, OTC. Have heard that antihistamines don't produce a refreshing sleep, and wonder about cumulative effect of "unrefreshing" sleep. Are there problems with long term use of antihistamines for sleep?
THEN:
When I see my provider, temazepam is the only hypnotic I've been able to tolerate which does not produce a hangover. Other options, with the exclusion of antipsychotics, are worth considering.
I appreciate everyone's input ahead of time, and thanks for sticking with me while I waited for the Nardil to start working,
-z
