kayjay Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have CFS but am having a really hard time sleeping at night. I fall asleep because I am exhausted but wake up throughout the night. Klonopin used to help me sleep but I think I have now gotten used to it. Do any of you take sleep meds? Do they help you? Are you more tired in the morning?Fatigue is one of my worst symptoms and I am starting to wonder if sleeping better at night would help me. Thank you.

RockiesGirl Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I am the exact way!! My symptoms seem to be exacerbated after a night of no sleep and the no sleep nights seem to be out-weighing the sleep nights by quite a few The doctor prescribed Trazoodone which doesn't seem to be doing squat. I fall asleep but usually wake up about 2.5-3 hours later and then can't go back to sleep until it is time to get up.It so *****!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy_D Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 My son takes Doxepin at bedtime. It is prescribed to help POTS, but sleep doctors also prescribe it to help patients sleep. So with Doxepin we get a two-fer.Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
