nutrimuscle if you mean script ambien will put you out cold. But if you want something a little less powerful that has no hangover effect at all aks for "Doral". 15mg | ||

Do NOT start taking Valium and especially Xanax. They are highly addictive and getting off them is a bitch. They can induce panic attacks and physical illness if your body becomes attenuated to them. Xanax is sold on the street as a "party" drug and although it does get you messed up the coming down process isnt worth it. | ||

xc, i will have to disagree with you. WHile benzos are addictive,they are not addictive unless abused and taken over a long period of time... | ||

Deal with it. Dont get used to modifying your sleep patterns with additional drugs. Your livers got enough to handle. Not to mention supplements like melatonin etc can alter multiple neural pathways that Im sure your not aware of. Furthermore,your body will build up a tolerence to them and soon they wont work for shit. Make sure not to cat nap in the day as well. | ||

If you use drugs to help you sleep you WILL become dependant on them especially the benzodiazepams. plain and simple. Its a question of how badly you become dependent on them. The crappy thing about them is the half-life of a benzo is about 3 days...mening they max build up of the drug actually grows upon itself when it reaches a maximum blood plasma level. Unfortunately, by this point the body has also begun attenuation. So you have to take more and more to get the same effects. When you try to go off you can't sleep at all. How do I know this? Addiction. I'm trying to help anyone else who may be making the same mistakes I did. Sorry to be so paranoid. | ||

My doc prescribed me Xanax 1mg pills.. the purple ones about a year and a half ago for sleep problems...The first time I took one it was about 9 o'clock and by 9:45 I was messed up and went to sleep...after that I only took half a tab to help me sleep... Now lately I have to take one at night to sleep through the night....and I don't drowsy anymore..and your body does develop a tolerance to it..I can have 4 or 5 beers pop a Xanax and keep drinking... Not good... So just be careful with whatever you choose and don't abuse it..I would like to learn more about this ambien (sp?) stuff... ------------------ | ||

Try Sonata 10mg. For me it's a mental thing, I just like knowing that I have something around to make me sleep. But like previously said, use sleep aids in moderation, I'm currently at the point where I have to take 20mg of diazepam just to get 6 hours. I've taken up to 30mg of Melatonin...it's pretty bad, as you can see..but I'm working on it. | ||

A nice little screwdriver works really well. Just enough to help with the sleep that is. B True | ||

Promethazine (Phenagran, OTC medicine) works very very well. Non habit forming and good duration. Don't bother with Benzo's (Diazapam, Nitrazapam, Tamazepam, Lorazepam etc) they work for a short time and you build up a tolerance and depence. Zoplicone is probably the only exception (POM though). Are you working too hard in the gym, this can sometimes cause restlessness. Some A'S's can do this (I find Primo does just this whereas Sust/Deca does makes me want to sleep 9+ hours!) GHB is OK to use, I find Melatonin shite (although many sat it works). Maybe your sleep pattern is disrupted so a short term sedative from your GP might re-establish this. Hope you resolve your problem! ------------------ | ||

GHB works for me. About 3 grams before bed and when I wake up 4 hours later another 2 grams. I feel great the next day. Only use it occasionally though. | ||

I decided to try unisom. Holy shit, let me tell you. I still feel groggy this morning, although ive never slept that long for a long time! (10 hours). Does that shit lose its effectivness, and can you get addicted? I took 50mg, next time ill take only 25mg. 50 is waaaay to much. | ||

Vdevil..I have also taken the Remeron, and it does cure insomnia better than anything else mentioned. It also makes you hungrier than shit too. Take 15-30mg of remeron and you will be out within an hour. But I dont know if i would recommend it strictly for an insomniac. ------------------ |
