I can feel different kinds of fatigue as well...it just is very rarely sleepiness. In fact I never feel sleepy at all. I can tell you if I didn't have this fatigue/tiredness then I could live a normal life. I really don't have any other symptoms that are disabling for me.
I am hoping my sleep study shows that I have some type of sleep disorder and that is my main problem. I have decided to discontinue taking Klonopin at night since the sleep tech told me it was not a good one to take for sleep. Then my husband just went to a CE class on sleep and sleep disorders etc...and the doctor there said the same thing. Don't take benzos for sleep as they will prevent the deep stage. Maybe that is why I feel so awful in the mornings now...
Hi Soxfan a good tip my sellp doc told me with klonazepam - just bite off the tiiest bit you can wiht your teeth
i also crush it in my tettth lihgtly as it takes ages to dissovle in water
often this is nough to get you off - or back to - sleep
If i really want to sleep and this does not work within half and hour or so i repeat it. and wash it down with another pill like L glutamine that i would be tainkig overnight anyway.
this limits the amount you take at least; i only do this about once a week or so to prevent depencency
IM Vit b12 is the best thing i have found for sleep so far though.
best,,
