Hi,
I have Primary Cervical Dystonia.  I don't know about the rest of the Cervical Dystonia folk but I have been an insomniac my entire life. The only good thing I can think of about
having the dystonia is that the muscle relaxers that I take for the Dystonia help me sleep. I got a nice case of chronic deppresion with the dystonia and again, the meds for the depression help me sleep. So ... I'm looking at any bright side I can with this neck jerking , taco neck condition. I am a nicer person now that I sleep. See if your Doc can give you Zanaflex. I take it only at bedtime 6-8mg, along with 25 mg of nortriptaline
Now I can sleep for at least 6 hrs, and a lot of time 8 whole hours!
