[bicepts101]

ive been looking around for some info on this. i imagine its not good. i just want someone with some knowledge to enlighten me.

i take them to sleep sometimes but i want to stop if im back tracking....thinking of using GHB

Well, I can't see it being very good for weight training. I mean they make you sleep and bring you down. I wouldn't see them being very good mixed with weight training. Also, you should use them for very long periods at a time, like more than two weeks stright, they lose their sleep inducing effect after this time. Plus they are very addictive.

I would not take anything to make me sleep period.Except maybe melatonin or something.We put enough shit in our bodies with out adding stuff for sleep.i just usually deal with it.Most stuff to make you sleep makes you feel like shit when you wake up anyhow.

ya i take that shit to sleep all the time.. does not effect my lifting...
probably not good to get use to though.. but it is a handy thing for me to have..

there is a medicine called remeron that is not a sleeping pill and is not addicting, it is an anti-depressant/anxiety medicine that you take at night because a side effect is it puts you out. i don't care who you are you will fall asleep or pass out standing up. and you wake up refreshed as hell. doctors love it cause it is working wonders for insomnia. check it out, it has changed my life and i am not dependent on it, though i prefer to sleep with it as you get an unbelievable quality of sleep. technology and science are awesome.

The only thing I can think about right away is that they are muscle relaxants.
Probably Ativan/Lorazapam would be preferable because of its short half life and no active metabolites.
