Ciao everyone,
I have always known that I had Depression, Anxiety and a sleeping issue. I have been to so many doctors who have diagnosed me as bipolar, ADHD and other names I never heard of.
I find myself at night not able to sleep as my feet shake or kick while laying on my stomach. I am not sure what my brain is thinking about and sure why it wont shut down so I have to take medications. I have been using Klonopin for a long time with no complaints but it seems my body is no longer adapting to klonopin as well as before. I am also taking Lexapro and asked my doctor if he can raise my does to 30 mg or 40 mg since I have been taking 20 mg for the longest time.
I guess what I am asking from the reader is if you can tell me another medication that is in the same class as klonopin that would work for sleeping. I have already tried Ativan, Ambien, Lunesta, Zipernam, trazadone and several other but these did drugs either knocked me out for 2-3 days even at a low dose or did not make me tired and Ambien / Lunesta caused major short term memory loss for me and was addictive as I kept having to increase the dosage.
Any Suggestions would be a great sleeping medication that helps falling a sleep. I am able to go back to sleep if I wake up so it more getting to sleep, something that will help with shutting my brain down at night.
Thanks in advance.
