It's a similar situation in Australia. I was told I'd have to wait for over a year. I kept getting phone calls from the hospital saying there had been a cancellation. Every time they called me I said yes to the new date and it ended up taking 6 weeks because I wanted it done quickly.

I got my reference from my GP, not from my pdoc. I have a funny feeling they don't like the way each other looks at symptoms of sleep disorders. My pdoc wouldn't recommend one, he thought it would be a waste of time. My GP thought it was a great idea.

It was the best thing I ever did. My pdoc was surprised when my results came back for sleep apnea and didn't believe the nightmares and hypno's were positive too.

How obnoxious is that, I don't see him anymore. I don't think pdocs like the new interest in sleep disorders, I think they feel threatened by them.

My sleep doc and GP did more for me than any pdoc ever did in the science of sleep. Peace C.

leave the mental health disorders to the pdocs. Once my sleep disorders were treated my depression and anxiety improved greatly, still not perfect mind you but they are much better.

Now please book in for that sleep study. I had been trying to tell doctors for years about my bizarre nightly episodes, no one ever listened to me. My restless leg syndrome is gone, so are my hypno's, I still have a few nightmares but not to the extent that I use to and my depression and anxiety have improved greatly.

Modafinil 200mg AM
clonazepam 2mg 3 times a day
nitrazepam 5mg maybe once a week
