Neurologist appointment

[Gizmo1coco]

My appointment today with the numerologist went ok. He did seem up to date with with the latest guidelines.

He has given me clomazepan, increased my Gabapentin and iron. He has also referred me to the sleep apnea clinic.

Has anyone any experience with Clomazapan?

I did ask for an iron transfusion but he said no.

The problem with clonazepam is it has a long half life of 40 hours so can cause drowsiness the nest day. If this happens ask for zopiclone.

[Gizmo1coco in reply to SueJohnson]

Thanks Sue do you think it is effective for withdrawal. Just wondering what you think of his chosen medication. Do you mean zopiclone to replace clonazepam if it causes drowsiness.

[SueJohnson in reply to Gizmo1coco]

No clonazepam isn't effective for withdrawal.from pramipexole. Yes zopiclone to replace clonazepam . Clonazepam is jut a sleeping pill.

[Gizmo1coco in reply to SueJohnson]

Oh no I was hoping this would be effective as I’m really struggling. Forgot to say he say he also prescribed codeine instead of cocodamol

[SueJohnson in reply to Gizmo1coco]

The codeine will definitely help.

[Gizmo1coco in reply to SueJohnson]

Fab hopefully with both it will ease the symptoms and get some sleep.

Thanks for all your help

Was that Dr Alok Tyagi?

[Gizmo1coco in reply to SueJohnson]

Yes it was

[SueJohnson in reply to Gizmo1coco]

I didn't know you had sleep apnea or is he just checking to see if you do?

[Gizmo1coco in reply to SueJohnson]

Just checking to see if I do
