Hi folks! I’m on a C-Pap machine and it no longer helps me sleep but you need to keep it for five years before it becomes yours.
(Medicare requirement) otherwise you get charged around $600.00 out of pocket purchase.
I have a roommate who takes trazadone for falling and staying asleep. Works great for him.
My machine is only used to stop me from snoring like a chainsaw. ( my roommate appreciates it). But the hose wrapping around my neck is uncontrollable but I still use it because it’s Bluetooth enabled and my doctor can see how I’m doing from his computer.
So to keep me sleeping at bedtime I was given a 300mg dose of seroquel at bedtime.
It works but from what I’m reading here seroquel is not for sleep? I also take 100mg of Wellbutrin. I geta half mg of klonopin in the morning and a 1mg at 4:00 pm
During a 20 day inpatient stay at our local hospital I received no klonopin. Stopped me cold turkey! Gave me adavan X2 daily 1 mg each.. That didn’t work and I was suffering from very strong withdrawal symptoms from lack of klonopin. I’m back on it now that I’m home but I cannot get off the klonopin. I’m addicted to it. Same with Seroquel . I can’t get off that either.” Either one is a must have or I go insane. I become someone I don’t like. So my psychiatrist keeps me on both and I’m constantly falling asleep watching TV or sitting on my recliner.
I don’t socialize with anyone else now. These 2 meds are killing me slowly. I constantly have “brain fog “ and nauseated and barely eat half a breakfast.
Plus I’m disgusted because when I left the hospital I weigh 186 lbs down from 212 lbs when admitted.
My weight today was 195 lbs I’m heading back to 212 I believe . Does seroquel increase weight? I’m at a loss on what to do. By the way. I also have diabetes type 2
Thanks. Trazadone did nothing.
