Dizzysillyak Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I started taking melatonin, 5htp, Benadryl and either Theanine or Klonopin5-6 years ago because I hadn't slept well in almost 20 years as the result of accute onset me/cfs with numerous neuro problems. I've since learned that my neuro diagnosises are common in MS. This combo worked great for sleep but caused my OI to become more severe. I was having days where I could barely stand up without getting POTS. I made a huge mistake taking these every nite for all those years. I'm still having some days / hours where my OI is bothersome but the improvement is remarkable. I suspect part / most of my OI problems now are because I still need Klonopin for nocturnal myoclonus. And still take 1/4 tsp Benadryl for allergies. I know my OI is better without anything that makes me drowsy so I'm working on eliminating them somehow. Just wanted to share for those taking anything that makes you drowsy. tc ... dps. most of my improvements since 2005 are from watching my diet. I follow a mostly paleo / wahls / low oxalate diet. I have the dq2 gene tho so gluten was never ok for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
