BS,
I have tried Clonazepam unsuccessfully two times and had the same reaction as your Mother. I was an absolute zombie on the same dosage and finally gave it up after a few days . I never could get use to it and I went back to the Lorazepam. I think Kalasgram's idea is a good one to try.

Within a few hours of going to be bed my left nostril shuts down and I wake up and freak even though I tell my mind it's perfectly fine to breathe through one side. The only thing that will work so far is Afrin spray and on a permanent basis that is not good. My septum has been straightened and turb...

Good for you! It is so hard to look back on the person that we know we are capable of being....and wondering if we will be capable human beings again....you know you are well on your way! Congratulations. Debjo, That is one of the best lines ever, and a question many of us constantly ask ourselves....

Wow you have a lot going on!
One idea -- have his T levels rechecked, the T shots probably work better that the pellets and a weekly or biweekly shot may be far better. You need a good endo here.

Try many options before the surgery, get pugsy involved.

ems,
That is great piece of advice. I have to take benzos in the middle of the night to get back to sleep, and someday hope to get off of everything. But that will be a battle for another day.

Change is good; especially when your face is new to this stuff and gets sore easily. You may be cinching the FX up too tight; it should ride lightly on the bottom of your nose, air pressure pushes it up like a puckery little kiss. Alternate mask shapes will let your nose heal. Cloth masks are very ...

Finally got rid of the rebound insomnia, and the Afrin rebound, but now I've got full-bore claustrophobia. I SO want this to work, but I can't get through the smothering sensation without drugs, evidently. I tried going back on ramp, but the sensation is that I'm not getting enough air. Without the...

Dos,
Congrats, it must be those two magical masks of yours.

The baseline O2 level....what you would see if you checked the O2 while awake resting????? I don't do a lot of nit picking on O2 reports but I will totally agree with what Hosecrusher has said. The baseline O2 you need to talk to your doctor about. Check it out while awake watching TV for an hour o...
