Thanks for replying. I tried 2mg of melatonin & it didn’t do anything. I think I’ll try a higher dose tonight. My tremors were so bad that i stayed up till 2:30am and they were strong. Mine were going up to my neck. I have atrial fib and it wasn’t that for me. My gastroenterologist gave me dicyclomine. I really don’t get the sleep i need. …3 1/2 hrs last night. I just hope and pray that I’ll get a better night sleep tonight. I don’t know if i should call my gastroenterologist tomorrow or call a neurologist. I’m tried of feeling this way.

My doctor thought Bentyl wouldn't help and might make things worse. They gave me Levsin which I only tried once. I asked my doctor for a beta blocker. Haven't tried yet.

Again, so sorry to hear that you aren't getting your sleep. I feel lucky to get 4 hrs of sleep/night, so 3 1/2 hrs. doesn't sound very bad to me but I know I don't get enough sleep.
When I looked up dicyclomine on Medline Plus Drug Information, I found: "Dicyclomine side effects: fast or slow heartbeats, pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest".
Like you suggested, good to talk to a doctor about it. I know much less about all this than you. Would you sleep as much as you wanted if you didn't have the tremors?
Keep us informed.
