I have tried CBT for this in the past, no success, but that isn't to say that it couldn't help if I gave it another go. I'm in therapy now. I haven't brought this up as a topic of conversation really. I'll bring it up and see what she says.
I'm really ignorant on the naltrexone question because I'm not entirely sure what kinds of effects it would have or anything. I am seeing my derm. next before my pdoc so whatever I asked for she is the next doctor in line to petition.
Could gabapentin help with this, where it has some nerve-end analgesic action? I was curious about gabapentin just in general, for insomnia, maybe this is worth a try?
Ed do you know what doses of naltrexone would probably be appropriate for something like this?
On my own I'm still going to try to see if increased diazepam or the Parnate titration does anything.
Thanks for your input you guys!
