Clonazepam (Klonopin) is one of the things that I take at bedtime, and can take a second mg earlier if needed. The primary reason for it is anxiety, but it helps to calm my legs so I don't kick my wife at night, and helps me sleep more deeply.

If you see a psychiatrist, she or he might be more likely to prescribe it than a pcp 2

Thank you so much for your email. The thing that bothers me most is this goowy stuff from under the top layer of my tongue. I bring the top of my mouth backwards and put my tongue out pressing on my tongue. This "stuff" is always there no matter how many times I brush my tongue but no one seems to know what it is. It would just give me peace of mind for a "dotor" to explain it to me so far no one has. Its not painful or anything like that just frustrating. Oh yes I did get some clomazepam to take at bedtime. It has helped me sleep a little better.
You said you have extra salvia I don't have that its normal although my mouth does get dry sometimes.
I know our Lord is watching over us and will give us an answer to our problems but being someone that isn't very patient its hard.
Thanks again for all your words of wisdom. I look forward to hearing from you soon GOD BLESS YOU EIIZABETH Patti

I did just as you said and now I have a perscription for Clonazepam. Last night was the first night I took it and I must say it gave me a better nights sleep than I've had in a long time. Thanks for your help as always. GOD BLESS Patti

Hi Patti,  My white tongue started similar to yours without the extra salvai, that's why you can catch it early<br>and the more anxious you are about getting rid of it, the worse it gets.<br>So.......watch your diet  greens, organic of course. organic sweet potatoes.  This sounds awful<br>but I went with the "Budwig" Protocol. after my cancer diagnosis.  I use "Daisy"Brand 2% cottage cheese<br>and "Barleans" Cold pressed Flax oil.(only purchased at Health Food Stores under refrig. as it has<br>short life.  It is expense.  I use only half the amount of each suggested. Put a heaping tablespoon<br>of Trivia  all in a smoothie ($15) Walmart and let it set for about 3 minutes then add raisyberries<br>from Kroger (Organic frozen)  I was purchasing organic blackberries but the price and seeds are<br>worse than raisyberry seeds.  If you like split pea soup, make it fresh with small peas and "Earth<br>Balance" butter (soy free) plant based (Wal Mart)  Good on a cold day. I puree some to make the Rice milk<br>a little thick. Not the best of the diet, but I enjoy the warmth.<br>I think more important is the greens I put in the smoothie blender.  Organic apple, celery, baby leaf kale<br>Trivia, almost out of vanilla.  Just keep it green with little  or no acid.<br>That's all for now.  I hope things will start to improve soon.  Keep the tongue clean and rest.  Change<br>your toothpaste to "Biotene" and don't use mouth wash w/ alcohol.  I use prescription mouth wash for<br> bacteria.  Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12% Oral Rinse, USP<br>Take care of yourself......Elizabeth<br><br> <br><br><br> <br><br><br> <br><br><br>

Thanks so much for the info. My appetite hasn't really been that good and I know its because I am worrying about this tongue thing. But I will try what you have suggested. Hope you are doing better and as always talk to our LORD and FATHER for guidance he will always come through for you. My trouble is I can't sit and listen. Take care of yourself and stay in touch. I really want to be kept informed on your condition and maybe someway it will give me the extra strength I need right now.
Patti

Liz, your post made me laugh when it was auto corrected to read, "put a heaping tablespoon of Trivia", which was obviously supposed to be "Truvia." I laughed, and every time I read it, I laugh again. Thanks for the unintended humor in what are often very serious discussions. Gail B
