Hello,
SWIM stopped drinking alcohol and on occasion likes to use a combination of Adderall and benzos - orally. SWIM says the effects are great, and the benzos keep his pressure normal. The problem is no matter when SWIM stops the Adderall, SWIM cannot sleep that night. Yesterday, SWIM started at 10:00 a.m. and took his last dose of Adderall at 4:00 p.m. - 100mg in total during the six hours (which SWIM understands is a high dose, but it is spread out), and 15mg of Diazpeam spread out as well, during the six hours. SWIM kept taking Diazpeam (highest dose at one time was 15mg) throughout the evening and night (every couple hours) complemented with Indica vap pen. Total Diazpeam from 4:00 p.m. through 5:00 a.m. (40mg). Despite that, SWIM was not able to get any sleep. The night was not unpleasant for him, but, he couldn't sleep. SWIM did rest in bed most of the night. But, losing a night of sleep always has significant negative impacts on SWIM in the days to come.
When SWIM did drink alcohol, he was able to sleep on the nights he used Adderall (snorted) after taking 10mg of Ambien. Since stopping alcohol, and switching to the Adderall/benzo combo, SWIM did try taking Ambien after a day/night of using Adderall and Xanax. It still did not work. SWIM hasn't tried this again yet, as he is cautious about combining Ambien with Adderall/benzos (especially given the dosages). SWIM would consider trying Ambien again, but doubts it will be effective, given his prior experience. SWIM has also tried antihistamines to no avail.
In all these situations, SWIM needs to take Adderall on day 2 to function through the day. Despite that, and thankfully, SWIM is able to sleep night two.
SWIM is looking for advice as to how to get sleep that first night, as SWIM would prefer to go to sleep, wake up, and not use anything the following day.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated by SWIM.
Thank you!
