In reply to Does Sonata/Amb.act on the same GABA as Klonopin?, posted by florence on May 9, 2004, at 22:55:29
> I am chronically fatigued. Provigil used to help and I discovered by accident that when I took Sonata (Zaleplom) I noticed SIGNIFICANT lifting of my mood..
Does Provigil still help? How much do you take? I noticed an improvement in sociability when taking zopiclone at night and then adding coffee the next day. But coffee is not for me.
> I noticed on a Chronic Fatigue Site that Klonopin is one of the top drugs used for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The dose is 2 or more 0.5 mg tablets at night. "Paradoxically, very small doses (usually one quarter to one half of a tablet) in the morning and mid-afternoon improves cognitive function and energy. If the daytime dose is low enough you'll experience greater clarity and think better. If the daytime dose is too high, you'll be drowsy."...
That is quite fascinating. Will you share the web address with me?
> Anyhow, I am in a really bad state. So, I have got to call my pdoc this week..Should I bother requesting Klonopin? I already take Xanax to counteract the anxiety(?) (crying, irritable, drop in mood) that occurs when the Provigil wears off each day. I apologize if this doesn't make alot of sense. I can't think very clearly. I want to know if Sonata or Ambien even, act on GABA the same way.. I have had no luck with lamictal, trileptal, zyprexa, neurontin, etc. There is a theory that NMDA is more activated than GABA in patients with "actual" Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Thanks for any help.
Sorry I can't help, but keep at it!
