I tried all the usual supplements to sleep on this cycle with poor results. Now I'm using Ambien, this is the shit. 10mg 15mins before bed and you are out for the night with no hangover.    | ||

IT is a nonbenzodiazpine sleep aid that acts on the brain like them. Unlike benzos, it has no muscle relaxing effects. It is meant for short term use, 7-10 days max. It won't cause hangovers, and also has minimal effect on disrupting REM sleep. There also is no rebound effect on nights it isn't taken. | ||

It can be highly addictive. It works like a charm for a while and then your immunity level to it builds up. It is a Rx drug so don't expect to find it at GNC. I would stick with GHB or L Tryptophan | ||

I've had sleeping problems all my life and a doctor prescribed Ambien to help me out. This stuff is the shit. Knocks you out cold within 20 min. And I mean cold, you cannot stay awake no matter how hard you try. One time I got hungry right after I took an ambien pill and decided to drive to the grocery store. Next thing I know I wake up in my car and it's morning. My car is sideways in a parking lot with a trail of debris behind it. I ran over the median, took out 2 small trees, and fell asleep right there in the parking lot. Moral...don't ever drive after taking Ambien.

I work rotating shifts at the hospital and my wife prescribes it (psychiatrist). We both use it, It is a non benzo that works at benzo receptors. She prescribes is a lot. Most doctors will not have concerns prescribing it to you since it is not supposed to be addictive, but your body sure can get used to it. | ||

OK I know this is a bit off subject... But are GHB kits still legal to import? The 2 chemicals unmixed should be legal to possess, right?

I have just started taking melatonin myself and I love it. I take at least 6 mgs and I get so tired, I can't keep my eyes open. Does anyone know what is the maximum dose you can safely take?? Just curious and sorry to stray off the subject. [This message has been edited by Maverik (edited October 16, 2000).] | ||

I believe the dosage is between 3-6 mgs taken 15-30 minutes before bedtime. [This message has been edited by Maverik (edited October 16, 2000).] | ||

MY COMBO= KAVA KAVA + VALERIAN ROOT + ZMA + MELATONIN...and it's worked great for me so far. I've had trouble falling asleep every day of my life 'til now, doesn't matter if I train early, late, on eca, off it, or really tired...when I hit the sack, my mind won't slow down--but this COMBO HAS HELPED A LOT! ------------------ | ||

god I miss "dream on". Maverick is getting sleepy and able to type still but with Dream On my only reply would be "bytbfjgbbhftfbfuhbgddddrnbgvmmgug" (my head hitting the keyboard abruptly)......(look at the middle of your keyboard, it'll make more sense).... You know, it's a damn shame that people who "G out" end up in the emergency room and fuck it up with the rest of us. Just once I would've liked to have known what the real stuff was like!!! <sniff> ok..... I'm ok. Just kidding, but I STILL CAN'T SLEEP!!!!! (and seriously, no, I never got to try it.........Damn!) | ||

I too would be interested in the Ambien stuff as I also have sleep problems..My "friend" is currently prescribed Xanax 1mg (the strong ones) for a sleep aid..he is worried about addiction problems though..as where in the past 1 pill put him in a coma...now he drinks 6 or 7 beers (not always) and the 1 pill doesn't do shit for him..except leave him a litte hazy the next day........What would be the best long term prescribed sleep aid available...Valium?? Xanax?? (even though it is more of an anti-anxiety drug) Just wonder ing..and what is in this Ambien shit?? ------------------ | ||

Wow! Has anyone ever noticed that most bodybuilders have sleeping problems. Most that I know, anyway. Why is this? | ||

Ambien has worked wonders for me in the past. The best way I have found to use it is by cycling it every other week. On the off weeks, I take Somas, Vicodins and other pain killers/muscle relaxers. Although most will disagree with taking the pain pills, I have found them to be very useful for this purpose. Also, through my own experiences, they do not make me drowsy the next day. Some people may use them for the "high" or they may get addicted to them easily, but I only use them at night time. | ||

For anyone who has taken "Dream On" I bought a bottle a while ago and it never works!!! how much do you guys take??? I tried 1 tablespoon and then 2!! It doesn't do shit!!! I am getting the sweats at night and I only sleep for like 2 hours!! I stopped taking ECA all together. I think it may be the Omna!!! I get all sorts of fucked up dreams in those 1 or 2 hours of sleep. I always wake up sweating. I need sleep!!! help!!! | ||

I know my sleeping problems are because I have to work out so late. To get going in the gym at that point I have to take an energy booster like ephedrine, which leaves me not wanting to go to sleep when I need to. | ||

by the way, it took a couple of shotglasses worth of the dream on to get me to sleep all night. I woke up full of energy. I can understand how it would make you wake up after 2 hours though. Doesn't matter - can't get it anymore anyway. | ||

the bottle says "take one to two tablespoons" to keep them from getting sued by some idiot who does too much. | ||

A eatery by my gym sold this shit(Dream On). The guy said it was going to come off the market soon because of abuse. He said it brought on REM 7 sleep. He said take one tablespoon and mix with water and you will be out like a light. It was 50 bucks for a bottle. well like I said before it is bullshit. I haven't tried GHB yet, but that may be next. I have tried Percocets and they work wonders until you get up(headache) and I have some Vicotins. I just need to find something I can use nightly without getting a pill habit. How addictive is GHB?? Hell! Tonight I'll just take a few swigs from the Dream On bottle and hope it works. | ||

Thanks a bunch excalibur, but are you pretty sure that they are still selling? It looks like it. It's just that so many places quit selling. Remember - it won't work right unless you do a couple of shots worth. But NO HANGOVER and I was bursting with energy the next morning. unfortuntely, (or fortunately, depending on your situation)it makes you VERY horny at that dose too. | ||

I have a prescription to ambien, and I personally think it sucks; my doctor said it is classified as a mild sleeping aid, and I strongly agree. On the other hand, the new Rx called Sonata (you've probably seen the commercials) is pretty effective, at the 10 mg dose. I usually make a cocktail consisting of 6mg Melatonin and 10mg Sonata or 10mg valium and 6mg Melatonin, and vary this weekly. Really, the only thing that knocks me out cold is GHB (2,3 di-furanone). I wish they still had the legal versions, it produced a much cleaner effect, than the stuff available currenly. |
