What Is Zolnox Used For
UpdatedI have had Parkinsons for the last 6 years. I am using 2x Sinimet 25/100 and 1x Sinimet CR 3x per day and 1x Comtan 200mg per day. I started using Zolnoxs 10mg 1x at 20h00 to help with insomnia. The tremors is bad in my right side when the medication is worked out and I also get withdrawel simptoms in the evenings in my left foot and right hand when the last medication starts to work out. I started relising that the Zolnox dampen the withdrawel symptoms and tremors and that the stiffness in the left side of my body dissapears after an hour or two if I don't go to sleep. On Sunday I used 1x Zolnoxs at 7h00 and 1x at 13h00 and 1x at 20h00.
The tremors stopped about 85% and stiffness was completely gone. The withdrawel symptoms was gone and on Monday I was able to cut medication by 1/3. I am not sure what Tuesday will be like. I did sleep about 2 hours during the day but felt like a diffrent person.
My question is if there will be any long term side effects with the use of Zolnoxs 1x 10mg 3x per day or any other sugestions.

Hello, Gerhard! How are you doing?
That is a high dose to take. This medication is normally used for the short-term treatment of insomnia and taking so many could result in an overdose, which may be fatal, due to the way it depresses your central nervous system.
It could also worsen many of the side effects, which the U.S. FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hallucinations, sleep actions and next day hangover-like effects.
It would be best to inform you doctor of how much you took, so they can check for any long-term problems and recommend a possibly safer solution for your symptoms in the future.
Is there anything else I can help with?
I have decreased the intake of Zolnoxs 10mg to 1/2 a tablet at 6h00 and again at 12h00. Then again at 20h00 I will tahe a full 10mg. The stiffness in the left hand side of my body has sisapeared. The amount of Sinimet tablets has also been halved. I also sleep with less tremors at night. The withdrawel simptoms that I used to get due to over usage of the sinimed has been redused. The Zolnoxs also stop the whithdrawel simptoms that I get in the evening as the Sinimet starts working out of my body.
My body is also more stable since I used the Zolnox and have much less up and downs.
On Sunday evening I ran out of Zolnox tablets. Monday morning I was shaking very badly, Felt like I was shaking my shoulders to pieces and also movement was restricted. When my wife came back from the chemist and gave me a tablet, It took me less than 30min to be normal again. Shakes gone and stifness also gone. I normaly take 1/2 a zolnox every 4 hours.
I did bought some Canibus oil and could not find any advantage except that it will make me sleep, but I will still have the shakes.
