Pain
"For over 20 years I have had chronic facial nerve pain from a surgery that was messed up. I  also had 2 additional surgeries to &#039;correct&#039; the problem but they were not successful. My only success with managing pain has been with morphine. Unfortunately it keeps me awake if taken close to bedtime. I was given Nortriptyline to try for sleep and pain relief (so as not to awaken in pain), but it was awful - the couple hours of interrupted sleep I had were with very bad nightmares. I stopped taking this medication as a result and will continue to look for a &quot;real&quot; sleeping pill that works &amp; that I am not tolerant of. In the meantime I would rather not sleep!"
