Hey Ash, yes I got my Ativan refilled and I was dozing on my couch and my fucking ex calls and wakes me up. No worries though. I also got my doxepin refilled to put me back out so I don't have to keep depending on benzos for some zzzz's. Thanks for checking on me.
10 - thanks for the post - it's always great to hear from you. AH
This isn't the psycho that tried to have me arrested, it's someone else, but it's pretty obvious to me now why in 12 step groups men should help only men and women should only help women.
I have some mild anxiety but nothing too terrible. I'm trying not to depend too much on Ativan. Propranolol and clonidine help.
Insomnia is no longer getting the best of me, although I do have to medicate myself to within an inch of my life to get decent shuteye. I'm almost out of gabapentin and Remeron which is part of my sleepy-bye cocktail so I have to get that refilled today.
I haven't had much of an appetite and I haven't been to a grocery store in weeks so yesterday I went to the Pollo Tropical near me (Latin American chicken joint) and got a big family meal including a whole grilled chicken, black beans and rice and balsamic tomatoes so I can just graze when I'm feeling peckish.

That's interesting about the cannabinol. I found one website that said 5mg of CBN is the equivalent of about 10mg of diazepam. I'll have to see if this is something that dispensaries here stock. I'm not interested in medical MJ, I'd just like to get a decent night's rest without taking an excessive amount of medication.I love Pollo Tropical! I always try and get it when I am somewhere where it's available. No franchises that I know of near me. It's like really good, healthy food. Now I'm hungry.
Speaking of sleep. For me, I am again struggling with insomnia after cutting out hard liquor (again!). I just returned from a work trip to Seattle where I picked up all kinds of different medical cannabis tinctures designed specifically for sleep. It's hard to say, but I think they really work. I also grabbed a product that contains CBN, which is totally non-psychoactive, and is something serious MJ enthusiasts avoid as it makes the user very sleepy. Kinda like a natural valium so I've read. I look forward to trying it.
I am glad you are doing well and things are improving.

Thank you Ash. Hearing from you always makes me feel better.[/COLOR]
