Good luck on Friday Alan. If it is of interest I take Madopar 125 Controlled Release and Mirtazapine at night and I sleep well. Hope this helps. Tony

Up at 4AM here in North Dakota, USA.....blowing and cold outside, 20 deg and a 20 mile an hour wind....should have a good walk today!!!! I had to get up, charlie horse in the buttocks, or pain in the a&&!!! I take Soma for a muscle relaxer but I think I need something stronger. Waking up because of pain or not going to sleep at all? but life goes on...and I will go for that walk if the sun ever comes up?!!
