Topamax

That would be an off lable use for which your prescription provider won't pay. I took it for migraines and had the worst side effects which included abdominal pains. I learned later via blood test that my amylase serum was way off. Try something else!

Here's a tip

Since I didn't want to spend any cash for scents I didn't like I chose to do something else. I went to Walmart and bought a cheap ceramic soap dish ($1.99). I then bought cotton makeup removal pads which are small, thin, circular cotton pads. I first went to GNC to buy some essential oils. Since I k...

I've done everything possible including hygeine, every sleep medication known to man, melatonin, tryptofan (spelling) etc., etc. I don...

Provigil

For me it's been great! It's the only stimulant that doesn't have cardiac ramifications. It helps me beyond belief and I truly love it. Nasa uses it as well as pilots in the U.S. military. It took months for my insurance company to cover it as it has many off label uses such as weight loss. Like all...

Trazadone can and does work however one risk for males is something called priapism (spelling) .

Sleep Apnea and Insomnia

Hello everyone I've got a question for anyone who could tackle this and give me an answer. I've got "moderate" sleep apnea which is a real treat with the bonus of having insomnia. I've started CPAP and it's helped some but the real problem is getting to sleep. I've tried every med out there from Amb...
