How Can Insomnia Be Treated While Suffering From Neuropathy?
I take Nucynta 50 mg for Neuropathy. I was on Amitriptyline but was taken off because I’m a senior....71 yo. I’ve had headaches since. I’m taking Magnesium. My doctor order Fiorinal and Imitrex. I can’t sleep so my PCP ordered Benadryl at BT. Still not sleeping. If I take Nucynta at BT with Fiorinal I wake up with a worse headache. 3 days of Migraines...Imitrex works but too much meds....sometimes I wake feeling overdosed.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, you are not feeling better because you are not taking correct treatment for migraine. Best treatment for migraine is combination of Propranolol and flunarizine at bed time before going to sleep. This will help in reducing headache. This will also be helpful in treating insomnia. So start this new combination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
