Hi,
before dbs surgery, sleeping was a problem. It was a relief and a suffering at the same time. During the night, when the effect of the Stalevo ended, my legs became stiff, and I could not turn myself in bed. From July 2016, this is only a sad and faded memory.

I have found the best results for sleeping deeply is edible cannabis - I have used it only for this purpose for years- pre-DBS and experimenting now with it post DBS.

Me too. I am four years post op. A small ant of edible and i sleep all night..
