Has anyone had a problem not getting sleepy at bedtime at all

I was diagnosed with PD about 8 months ago and my sleep has never been the same, i too dread nighttime because i lay there staring at the ceiling i am on klonipin and it is useless anyway it scares me because the Tremers are horrible i cant walk long otherwise my legs tighten up and if im not careful i fall I'm 55 yrs old i count on my wife to help me with my pants i cant get them on myself , i use a wheelchair and a rollator lately i think i am getting depressed and it really stinks all PD does is drain me , if you'd like we can stay in touch i have an appt in an hour rake care of yourself because no one else will.

I too have a major problem with not getting sleepy at bedtime. I have to take 3 different medications. My doctor took one from me but she moved on and I finally got all 3 again. I take temazepam Doxepin and olanzapine. The side effect is that I forget the night before and I suffer the consequences because if I don't I go sometimes several days without sleep. It has been causing a lot of depression episodes. She also took my pain meds. I have fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease and she didn't care. I also agree with not getting much help from anyone especially with doctors. They think I'm med seeking. I wish I could find a doctor who believed me.

Some docs are clueless and out of touch when it comes to our needs i find it so much easier to be my own advocate and it usually works for me , i too pill seek when it has to do with the PD , im on klonipin , my doc has tried all the meds for PD i love my neurologist she is an expert shes a movement specialist anway im sorry you have had some drs almost as though dont care try and be your own advacate it really helps im having a hard time typing due to the tremors , so im going to end here take care buddy , by the way whats your first name mine is Rich , stay in touch and i look forward to talking with you real soon.

Aschwaganda and Gaba are working for me now! I've tried Melatonin and many other supplements, after a while they stop working.

Once or twice each week I don’t need to sleep at all in 40 hours. During that time I’m wide awake and not sleepy at all. I just accept it now as being part of who I am. I spend the time reading or watching films. I once took sleeping pills given to me by a hospital for the night before a major operation. I absolutely loathed the effect they gave, and would never take another one.

Have you tried Trazodone? It's an anti-depressant with a side effect of sleepiness that's commonly prescribed for insomnia.. I started having severe insomnia a few years ago and that was the first medication my Dr prescribed. I don't want to take any heavy-duty meds where you can sleepwalk and not remember your actions. Right. now I take 200mg Magnesium Glycinate about 2 hrs before bed. I take a CBN/THC sleep gummy shortly before bed, and 2mg melatonin and 50mg Trazodone about 15 minutes before bed. Combined, they make me sleepy. The trouble for me is that I wake up about 4 hrs later and have trouble falling back asleep.

Yes, I’ve tried those… one night they’ll work, the next night wide awake …
