Peacefully transitioning to sleep

Hypnagogic hallucinations are part of a triad of symptoms that are narcolepsy related. A sleep neurologist ((specialist) may be able to help with the hallucinations. I just recently figured out my Restless leg syndrome was partially a side effect of wellbutrin which I had been on for years. I’m off the Wellbutrin and off the 6 tabs of carbidopa-levodopa a day I was on for RLS. It’s still present but I am managing it with tylenol and a heating pad. My cervical pain after fusion is much better now with a very flat travel size pillow and gel ice pack. It’s amazing how much we can help ourselves with research and self experimentation, trial and error measures!

I find it so strange that most doctors never suggest an easy solution. I have found a heating pad helpful for so many problems. It helps aches and pains, it’s calming for sleeplessness, and you mention restless legs. When I suggest to friends they look at me like I’m crazy, but if they try it they always thank me for the suggestion. Pills are not always the best answer, and they always have side effects.
