Yes I've read it. I feel pretty confident as long as it's prescribed and I'm taking it as directed (less actually than suggested) I'm ok with it. It's funny I don't question any of the other six meds I take but none of them are narcotic or altering at all. I might die without them. And I wouldn't think of stopping THOSE for my recovery. Sleep is a necessary evil.

Luckily I've not a problem with staying asleep once asleep like you have, liz. It's the twitching that is almost seizure-like, that keeps me from getting there. Since the stroke happened while sleeping, I worry then that it's happening again. Add anxiety to sleep deprivation and that IS a recipe for stroke. I'm grateful that when sleep does finally come it's a long and restful time.
