Re: Little REM sleep, ideas anyone?

I don't know about apnea, but I know about "restless leg syndrome" which can also disturb REM. I was prescribed Klonopin (1 to 1.5 mg) to sleep and the RLS subsided.

At one point I was given Ambien and had the most awful and bizarre dreams I've ever had; woke up terrified and shaking.

Before Klonopin, I also used to use hydroxyzine pamoate (Vistaril) but I seemed to develop a quick tolerance to that. I still use it when I am climbing the walls anxious.

I take Effexor and Wellbutrin for a/d.

Also, PremPro for HRT, but that has only been recently, and hasn't had an effect on my sleep. I take it with the Klonopin in the pm.

As others have said, once you can deal with the apnea (which may not respond to any of the things I've mentioned) you'll probably be sleeping like a baby!

Good luck!
