Difficulty Sleeping, Any Medications Or OTC Pills Taken
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My neurologist told me that I could have difficulty sleeping due to my medications and my overall condition. As I’m sure you all know, lack of a good night’s sleep will trigger seizures the next day.

I’m wondering if any of you have difficulty sleeping and if so what prescription meds or Over the Counter pills you take for this?

Thanks!
