I'm just a beer drinker, the way i fall asleep now ( because i broke my elbow my dr prescribed me Gabba pentin) and i went to the emergency room trying to quit drinking " i felt like i was have a heart attack, so they gave me Librium( until i got my normal valium script from my normal DR), I don't recommend what I am about to tell you. now to sleep I get one 100mg Capsule of Gabapentin and one 25mg Librium. I get a hard paper plate i divide each capsule separately into two seperate piles of powder. i get a pen to mark each pile. now i also get Zanaflex( tizanidine) a muscle relaxer. I slide a little bumb from Librium together with a little bumb from gabba pentin. I get a straw and snort it, after 10 to 15 mins i feel good. usually it knocks me out whithin 45 mins. if i need an extra kick, i throw in some Zanaflex, just a little. ( it's easy to get, just ask your DR, its not a controlled substances) then you sleep like a baby for at least 5 hours, which is a blessing for me. with no alcohol i stay up for days.
