Is this worth presenting to my pdoc for a short term strategy until I work with a fibromyalgia doctor, or even while I am less than one month into emsam?
I know from experience that benzos are not equivalent. Klonopin (depressive), librium (rls), ativan (once after surgery). I have never taken Valium.
I regularly wake around 2:00 am after a ten p.m. dose of 1mg Xanax, 0.5mg xanax cr and 4mg zanaflex (plus mag, zinc, melatonin).Last night, I took that, woke at 2:00, took two 20mg!!! Sonata plus .05mg reg xanax, and had a lovely time reading and writing. Not sleeping.
This is more medication than I have agreed upon with my docs.
I understand the wait and see approach. I like being conservative, but I have to sleep.
So does the above switch sound reasonable? I see my pdoc on Tuesday.
Oh, I'll call my gp right now. This is ridiculous.
