Talk to your Doc about Prosom after my first night taking it I wanted to run to my Doctors office and hug him and kiss him and YELL I SLEPT LAST NIGHT AND ACTUALLY RESTED. He would have laughed with me he knews what I have been thru. Don't just give in never give in or give up. Sometimes we gotta fake it to make it the more we fake it we start to believe it then we start to feel better if we sit around with the oh whoa is me's then we become oh whoa is me.

Cloudy, One thing to remember about Adivan and drugs in that family (sorry I misspelled it) is that it can occasionally have a behavioral side effect of violent mood swings. I had this reaction and it turned me from a very calm person into the wicked witch of the west. I am not sure if it was because of the TBI I sustained and vulnerability of mood swings because of it; or if it was something else, but this is something to be considered.
