Yes but at a low dose I was manic and on tyl 3 so I wonder if there was drug interaction. But on it I felt normal

Lynda,
I have no problem sleeping at all. But the ache and pain in my hip and low back wakes me up and I have to get up. When I start having the frustrating nightmarish dreams of trying to get some place and not being able to get there or being lost in a hotel lobby with crowds of people and losing my purse, when I get those kind of frustrating dreams that's when the pain is bothering me and I need to get up and stretch or use my TENS machine or rub something on the pain. I think it's a good thing I do get up because sometimes it feels like my blood circulation is being cut off. Other times I get cramps but that's usually because I did not eat correctly during the day. When I get the cramps I have something I use which helps.

Shotsey,
Have you tried Melatonin, to help you sleep?

I was on Provigil for awhile about 10 years ago when I was working. I worked 7p-7a. It kept me awake and alert. I had some trouble going to sleep after work. It was a problem when I had to go to work that night. It did what it said it would do.
