Brain Zaps Galore

I have insomnia from constant brain zaps. How long does this go on? I need to sleep. What can I take to sleep? Any meds I can ask doctor for? I have to sleep!

I wouldn't take any additional "meds" from a doctor, as in my opinion, this is how most of us landed here..

 

What has been working for me, are, "zzzquils" which is over the counter, "non habit forming" - made by the makers of nyquil.  I take 3 of them about 45 minutes before I want to go to bed, and I also use a "sleep hypnosis" recording I put onto my iPod. 

 

Sorry about the brain zaps, they will decrease over time.  Mine did..

 

Hope this helps..

Thanks for the informative link on the Brain Zaps!!  It confirms much of what I'd read but a lot more!

 

When it was happening to me, initially in Acute, I used Phenergan about 4 times;  it was mentioned in the Ashton Manual.  The first 3 times I took it when I was in bed and it really 'put me out'.  The 4th time, I was up and waiting to feel sleepy;  not only did it not happen that night, but I also had a 'busy bladder' which I think was the WD, but I was a little frightened to take the phenergen again...

 

Later when the zaps happened, I'd put lots and lots of pillows behind me and just 'sit' with a low light on, sometimes reading or knitting, and often I'd drift off - sometimes longer than other times, but at least I got some sleep!
