HCD77 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 @merkat30 I’m so sorry you are having such horrible symptoms at night. I still have awful insomnia. I fall sound asleep and then wake up between 3-4 am if lucky . Wake up with night sweats , then I take a 5 mg of melatonin and try to go back to sleep. I can go to sleep relaxed and calm and wake up feeling horrible. It is the worst thing to have chronic insomnia. Sometimes I wake up with achy pain head to toe. Yes I have nausea too. The nightmares can also be very disturbing. I have a prescription for gabapentin but a little scared to take it. I may try it soon , I heard it helps with the night sweats and autonomic neuropathy in my feet that is also painful at night . Have you tried gabapentin? I hope you have some restful sleep soon. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmep37 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I've also had terrible struggles with insomnia - my rheumatologist suggested I take Amitriptyline (anything up to 75mg) and it did help my sleep but it raised my resting HR and made POTS worse so I stopped. I now take 150mg Trazodone (a low dose anti-depressant), I need to take it by 7pm in order to get to sleep by midnight but I definitely do sleep better, prior to all my bradycardia problems I would get about 3-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep which was more than I'd had in a decade! I still get adrenaline surges but only in the morning , not during the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTSius Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I also have MCAS and benadryl (US version, diphenhydramine) is super helpful for me when I have sleep issues Be careful though, I think in the UK the drug labelled "benadryl" is a different actual drug, not sure if that would help or not (adding this in case you or anyone reading this lives in the UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
