I tried doing a search in this forum for a related topic but couldn't find one...

I have been taking 20 mg IR twice a day for about 5 weeks now and for the first time since I started, I took a "holiday" yesterday... I thought I'd sleep like a baby last night, but I had trouble sleeping... in fact, I woke up at least half a dozen times during the night (if not more). I sleep on my side and every time I'd start to fall asleep I'd wake up and my arm would be COMPLETELY NUMB... this hasn't happened ever before but it happened the entire night, including when I finally got out of bed this morning. Anyone have similar issues or think this could be a serious blood-flow issue?

I used to have that happen to me all the time. I went to the doctor, who sent me to some specialist that did a bunch of nerve tests, and it all came back normal. It stopped happening after a while and I still don't know for sure what it was. I think getting a new pillow helped.
