Thanks, Yvonne, I've stopped the haldol. She said it's sometimes useful for
dystonia. but it made me feel hung over and unable to wake up all morning.
Also made my hands shake/tremble.....

Glad you're off the Haldol, Mag. It has been known to mask dystonic symptoms in some people but you also risk worsening those symptoms.

I did OK on ambien, but MD was concerned about tolerance, it didn't help much
more than flexeril -- meaning it lasted 4 hours, then I woke up at 4 a.m. so
I'm on nothing now except elavil for sleep.

Elavil can also help with chronic pain. 

Hope this helps.

Yvonne
