Since my last post I began talking about my sleep troubles. I also mentioned that I now take ambien. One interesting point to note is that I also take clonazepam. For those who are not familiar with anxiety, or some would call them nerve meds. Clonazepam is a medication that can be prescribed for individuals who suffer from anxiety. In my case it is prescribed to be used with the ambien. My night rituals is to take the clonazepam around 9:45 - 10:00 p.m. this med also makes individuals sleepy. So I start my ritual by preparing for sleep an hour before I actually take my ambien. The ambien is taken 15 min. before I actually get ready for bed. For me it is necessary to have a one two punch so to speak. We will talk more about Clonazepam in the next post.
fondly,
from a patient's perspective,
