Myoclonic jerks
I have been struggling with severe sleep deprivation for 6 months now. When it first kicked off I was awake for eleven days with a 4 hour nap somewhere during one of the middle days. Anyway, I developed myoclonic jerks that would trigger every. Single. Time. I was about to fall asleep. I kept going to the clinic and they kept prescribing different sleep aids. Nothing worked, eventually they gave me Klonopin and the myoclonic jerks stopped and I could fall asleep. The thing is I have still been struggling with the sleep deprivation really bad without the jerks, then they returned last night. I went to the clinic again and they said they cannot prescribe Klonopin again. Now I don't know what to do because I have a mount Everest size amount of sleep debt and the closest appointment with my primary care doctor is two weeks out. Last time I could not get any amount of sleep at all due to these jerks. I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do since now I'm basically being forced to stay awake for twelve straight days since I'm going to be stuck with these jerks without Klonopin. Any possible other OTC meds or otherwise that can stop the jerks ?
