Hi,
My neurologist who had ordered a sleep study for me ( and called and told me I don't have sleep apnea, but wanted me to have another one, just because I needed 5 naps, and only had 4...) up and left his practice , unnanounced.
In the mean time he had only had me on Celexa, and desyrel. (desyrel 50 mg at night for sleep)
He woudn't give me a different sleeping med until I had the second sleep study. Well, I finally called my reg. doc and he gave me Ambien.
(I only did this because I'm out of a neurologist for right now)
In the mean time, I got a feeling I was not so bright in stopping the desyrel, 'cold turkey'.
Major fog, can 't concentrate (and that's my disabilty anyways since my brain tumors were removed)
Can't think and I'm dizzy. Kinda like when I stopped my effexor a few years ago.
I just was never told not to stop it or continue to take it.
Does Desyrel do this to you when you stop it to? Should I have tapered off it?
How long will this last?
Thank you!
