I currently take 500mg IR every 12 hours. At first it made me drowsy and I didn’t really have trouble sleeping but now it’s the opposite. I’ve maybe slept a total of 4 hours in the last 3 days. I’ve tried CBD, melatonin, mixtures of both with other sleepy herbs and magnesium. I’m at a loss 😩 and I’m worried about another seizure at this rate. I don’t see the neurologist for another 2 weeks. Any advice is greatly appreciated ❤️
Your body accommodates eventually! Make sure your doctor has you on his low dose as possible! My seizures are from anxiety, so my doctor keeps me on the 500 despite occasional seizures on it! But that means I had to control my caffeine intake and anxiety levels! Praying for your sister!
I've been on keppra paired with topiramate since 2021 after a massive seizure I had both are twice a day I sleep well at night if I wake up I'm able to go back to sleep after moving my legs a bit. We are all different and conditions are all different but hope your doctor finds an answer for u, God bless
You may not want to go down this route, I use THC gummies every night. I rotate my Ativan Rx because I don’t want to become dependent on that one. Good luck, @A MyMSTeam Member!
Sleep disturbances are a common challenge with MS, and medication timing can significantly impact sleep patterns. It's important to discuss these severe sleep issues with your healthcare provider right away, as they may need to adjust your medication schedule or dosage to help manage both your symptoms and sleep.
