Hey guys, any help I could get on this post would be greatly appreciated. I went to the doctors today for my insomnia and she prescribed me a drug called Ambien. It's supposed to knock you out cold. Also gave me an inhaler called nasacort. It is a cortisteroid(not sure about spelling) that will shrink tissue in my nose to help me breath better. My concern is that I presently am stacking sus and dbol.I should have told her about the gear, but I chickened out. So Am I going to die in my sleep tonight from a bad combo? No really, I just wanted some info possibily from one of you guys in the medical field? ------------------ IP: Logged |

No I'm pretty sure it doesn't. My doctor told me it is not like traditional meds. We'll see, I just took one. My insomnia has gotten to the point where it's freaking up my training. She also said that you dont use it all the time, just helps you to get back in a sleep groove.  ------------------ IP: Logged |

Do any of you other guys have problems sleeping? The guys at the gym tell me the same thing. They all have to take something to sleep also. I've never had problems sleeping. IP: Logged |

I was having trouble sleeping, I added 100mg of 5-htp with my last meal now I sleep real good- but I still wake up to eat- but its easy to fall right back asleep. If I take Melatonin I will usually sleep through the night but I feel like I am starving when I wake up. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I've taken nasacort, I don't think you have to much to worry about with that one...I believe what it does is stimulates nerve endings within your sinuses to help open then up and be more receptive, but I could be wrong...It's been awhile since I've taken it...But it works GREAT, you should like it, and get imediate breathing results from it. No matter how clogged up your nose is Are you having nasal drainage problems or bad alleregys? thats probably why she gave it to you...I never had any drowsy or sleepy feeling affects from it.

Yeah, I have really bad allergies. My sinuses are one of the reasons I wake up at night. ------------------ IP: Logged |

5 hydroxy tryptophan- it is one step closer to seratonin. tryptophan is converted to 5htp- which is converted to seratonin. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Ambien is a benzodiazapen (sp?), which is the same class of drugs as Valium, Ativan, and Halcion. The other drugs I named are much stronger than Ambien. Ambien is usually not associated with a "next day hangover", so it should not effect you the next day like Valium or Ativan will (Halcion is even stronger). In fact, many doctors will switch from Ativan to Ambien if the patient complains of being excessively tired the morning after taking Ativan (or Valium/Halcion). Hope this helped.

Corticosteroids sure don't help you get big, but don't worry about that. Ambien has similar mechanisms as the benzodiazepines, but is structurally different. There will not be an interaction between those two. There have been a few good postings about sleep problems lately. Peace ------------------ IP: Logged |

Hey rotten, He just turned 9 months and he is almost 90 pounds. I will post a pic soon. His head is gigundus. It is in dis-proportion with the rest of his body, which leads me to believe that he will get much bigger. His dad was 160, and he was the biggest pup of the litter!  ------------------ IP: Logged |

ambien rules, take 2 10mg tabs and fight the sleepiness(about 10 min) it will make you feel like you had a couple shots of jd. but it will make you eat alot. i say don't use it on cycle, but use it if you want to have fun! IP: Logged |

I don't understand I took the Ambien and it did crap. I would still be up for hours l8r. aand when I finally went to sleep I could not wake up. GBL or a shot that's all that helps me. IP: Logged |

MP - My experience with 5HTP is that it doesn't work. I used to preload with it back in my XTC days. I have heard of it working with some people, but not alot. Maybe you are one of the fortunite ones. IP: Logged |
