headrolling effects?

I am 44 years old and since my childhood I am headrolling. Now I'm getting older it's getting worse. I took imipramine and clonazepam. It's not working. I sleep 8 a 9 hours a night and every day I wake up tired.
Every day I am tired, have headache and a lot of neckpain.
On the internet I can't find the effects of head rolling.

Do anyone knows where I can read more about the longterms effects of headrolling?
Or does anyone recognize the same?

Please write me! Thanks

I was wondering if you might help us out by answering a one-question survey?  If you have a moment, go to the front page (hit the back to community button at the top of this page) and locate the poll about sleep topics. I would love to have your feedback. Thanks, H.

Have you tried to see a neurologist who specializes in sleep medicine? That would be my recommendation. I have a different type of movement disorder during sleep, so I understand how frustrating these problems can be. Mine is secondary to a condition called narcolepsy, which affects the body's ability to control sleep and wake.

Your English is excellent. No worries.

I found some more information here:

http://www.medlink.com/medlinkcontent.asp

but it doesn't include in-depth information on treatments for this disorder in adults. As I said, your best bet is probably to see a sleep neurologist for treatment. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you right now.

I hope you find the help you need soon! Best, H.
