Medications: Kel
Medications
How you made the decision to take the medication: Lack of sleep was a big trigger, as was stress and anxiety, so I decided to take something that would cover the sleep issue as well as the anxiety issue.  I also had restless leg syndrome, so I started taking a medication for that...which just so happened to lessen the severity of my eye wonking.
What was prescribed: Lorazepam and neurontin.
Dosage and frequency: Lorazepam 1mg at bedtime (twice daily if needed) and neurontin 300 mg at bedtime initially, now twice daily.
Length of time you took the medication: I have taken these for about 3 years now.
Benefits you experienced: Sleep better, legs don't twitch, neither does the eye (as much).
Duration of benefits: Started almost immediately, still having good luck.
Side effects you experienced: none noticable.
Duration of side effects: not applicable.
Experiences when medication was stopped: I have not stopped, although I can tell if I forget a dose too often.
Your feelings about your experience with the medication: It helps, so I take it.
