Hi, doctor! Thanks for taking the time! I think I was prescribed anti-depressant but they didn't work for me. I think my insomnia is more of a symptom of my muscle-disorder termed as Myoclonus. The only drug to reduce my hand tremors was Piracetam, but I think I've grown immunity from it.
I can rule out other causes of insomnia you listed.
Again, thank you.
I made 2 additional posts as I thought I was able to delete them. Sorry!
Hi!
Yes, people who have suffered traumatic brain injury often have sleep disorders including insomnia. So many years after head injury you could probably be prescribed anti-depressants for it. However, it is best to avoid them. Follow a normal sleep pattern of sleeping at a particular time. Do not sleep during the day. Talk a walk before bed time. Drink something warm like a glass of hot chocolate or milk at bed time. Also, other causes of insomnia such as physical or emotional stress, depression, allergies, asthma, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, hyperthyroidism, and sleep apnea. Should be ruled out.Take care!
