Periodic Limb Movement Disorder
I am looking for information on PLMD. I know it keeps me from getting a good nights sleep but does it also keep a person from getting to sleep? I was also wondering if once you start taking the Sinement if you ever have to have the dosage adjusted or do you stay on the same dosage forever?
I had a sleep study done about 5 years ago and went on ambien as well as the Sinement. I have had to stop taking the ambien because not only did I have the memory problems associated with just after taking it, I was also having amnesia problems at other times. So now I am looking for something else to help me get to sleep. I have noticed a lot of discussion about addiction and dependance on sleep aids but for me it came down to I have to take something to get to sleep or else I will have to quit my job and file for disability. I have been off the ambien for over a month and have not taken anything on a regular basis to get to sleep and my ability to do my job has fallen about 75% I would guess. So I have to do something before they decide that steps need to be taken to terminate my employment or at least downgrade me. I have been reading some of the information posted on this message board about medications, including one asking about serzone. I currently take that one for other reasons but it does nothing about putting me to sleep. I was taking it at night but I am now taking it in the morning. I also need something that will not interact with other meds I take. Thank you.
