Are you on any type of GABAergic drug? These include the benzodiazepines (valium, xanax, lorazepam, etc.), lyrica, neurontin, baclofen? If so, this may be contributing to your problem. Check out The Tranquilliser Recovery and Awareness Place or BenzoIsland.org for more information. It might be scary and overwhelming at first, but it might be able to answer a lot of your questions.

Actually I am on a low dose of one. How did you come to find out about a potential problem between them and why would my pharmacist or a doctor not catch it? Thanks for the link. Off to read it now.
