I started the ZZ 5 days ago. I did have an improved couple of days, but the last two have been bad, exacerbated by the lack of sleep!, and then on waking each time having these visual sensations and dizziness. I shall continue on them though and hope it improves. I think I need diamox but without evidence I am not sure I can convince the gp to give it to me, I haven’t checked but I would be surprised if the gp was licensed to prescribe it.

Are sleeping pills good or bad for us? I had considered asking doc for some benzo’s for the flight but not sure it’s wise, and maybe to just try Benadryl (for sedative effect)…

Thanks

Richard
