I believe it is prescribed by some Pdocs to treat epilepsy and non-epileptic seizures alike. Have you tried Preg@b@lin or G@b@pentin before? They have similar is effects to benzos (they have a mechanism ism of action through the brains GABAb receptors instead of the GABAa ones) and they're a first-line treatment for anticonvulsant and certain mental health treatments. It might be worth looking in to as an alternative to Clonazepam if you ever want to go down that path.Hey Glousck,
Sleep paralysis is a truly awful thing to have to suffer through, my heart goes out to you. You must be such a strong person to persist in the face of your neurological battles and I sincerely believe you should be proud of yourself for that.
I sincerely appreciate your comments and well wishes. It's words like that they help me make it through. I can remember my first bouts of sleep paralysis beginning when I was 5 years old. I never though much of it, as everyone on my mother's side of the family suffered from neurological disorders. About 5% of my client's suffered from it when I was practicing psychotherapy. I started to worry more after reading a few articles that linked it to Parkinson's and the like. In fact, one said that 80% of people who suffer from it are likely to develop a Parkinson's-like disorder. Holy cow. 80%?? Sure, enough I did. And something worse than Parkinson's...I was diagnosed with motor-neuron disease last year. In any event, I have been on Neuront#n for an unrelated condition back in 2005 and it didn't seem to affect my nighttime neurological problem's either way. My doc won't let me try Lyric@ because it is known to initiate depressive disorder in those who are prone to it, and that would be me. (Ironically, c-pam is also known to initiate depressive disorder in some, but it doesn't do that for me). I do appreciate your recommendation's and I think both were right on. Check out this rather chilling link....and take care for now. RM .https://www.scientificamerican.com/artic...lzheimers/
