I found out that my favourite ultimate sleep/anxiety/wd aid is also first generation antipsychotic. And low dose works better than any ammount of benzos. It makes my mind quiet. It doesnt have usuall antipsychotic muscle side effects because of potent anticholinergic activity and it even provides body relaxation and pain relief. Especially during withdrawals and it also greatly potentiates opioids. They even wrote into that information paper which is included at every single box of any meds that it makes opioids ( their analgetic effects ) 50-60 % more potent but avoid using with atypical hybrid monoaminergic opioids. But if used with morphine, codeine, dihydrocodeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, diamorphine, hydromorphone, oxymorphone than it makes their analgesia more than 50 % more potent.Oh I forgot to add, certain anxiolytic antipsychotics I find to be fairly pleasurable, but only if I need to be sedated for some reason. Good for withdrawals and anxiety.
Stuff like haloperidol, thorazine, etc. These drugs have given me great comfort, generally while in the hospital withdrawling from other drugs like benzos. Those first gen APs are way more calming and even slightly enjoyable compared to the 2nd gen APs.
I hate how doctors look at me strange when I ask for those drugs to mitigate my general anxiety and sleep issues. Won't prescribe benzos, but wont prescribe me anxiolytic neuroleptics, either. What is their job good for again?
While using just very low dose of that antipsychotic. But i ran out of it so now I don't have any but it's not problem to obtain prescription from my psychiatrist but he already prescribe me promethazine 25mg pills, mirtazapine 15mg pills and diazepam 10mg pills.
