Hi WC,

I just saw this and want to say how sorry I am for your losses and for everything you are going through. I would also refuse to turn over my pdoc's notes and the hassle you are going through about getting an EKG sounds absurd.

I once asked to see how many notes my pdoc had for me and after a decade it is several inches thick. I wouldn't want any other person going through all that.

Not being able to sleep is rough and I really hope you can get this sorted soon. I personally find that Lyrica, which is not a benzo, puts me to sleep and most importantly keeps me asleep even at a low dose (50 mg). It is also effective against chronic pain and qt interval prolongation is rare on it. I find it much more effective than gabapentin even though they are related medications. I would also think that seroquel would knock most people out who aren't used to it and I hope you have success with that.
