Insomniacs out there? what do you take?

I can only sleep with alc. in't system if i mix it with other drugs and have a mass amount. I don't drink often and try to stay clear as it makes me depressed and likely to harm + it keeps me awake most of the time...
people are fucking different ay? hehee =D
 
Wellbutrin is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor basically a stimulating anti-depressant i don't know how the hell that could make you sleep. One of it's main side effects is insomnia. It's a rather good anti-depressant but no good for sleep thats for damn sure.

Mirtazapine is a good anti-depressant for sleep. Probably the best thing ive ever taken for sleep. It's also a really good fast acting anti-depressant.

Seroquel in low doses is good for sleep but it makes some people groggy in the morning. It doesn't make me groggy at all but it does to some people.

As for benzo temazepam works good.

Well well well well Wellbutrin is based on a stimulant (nicotinic receptors??) i think.
Malt drinks are surprisingly effective at bringing on the yawns and warming me up for bed, really good if [med of choice] isn't being as effective as it should be.

It's a cathinone analogue with a p-Chloro and a tert-butyl group (get rid of the latter, and I think you've got something pretty recreational)
 
Ambien is your best bet.

I have taken all kinds of benzos (no sleep disorder) and have been able to stay up for lengthy amounts of time on them all.. including halcion, although that was probably the strongest in terms of sedation.

Ambien knocked me out in a matter of 20 minutes despite a lot of caffeine and personal will to stay up.

Best of luck.

temazepam is my favorite benzo and what was given to me for my insomnia.

15-30 mgs for sleep 60-75 to catch a buzz

Isnt this a paradox? Wouldnt you get knocked out before catching a buzz??
 
Not necessarily. I'm one of those who can, without too much trouble, stay up on hypnotics... Zolpidem especially actually.
 
actualy your just fucking with people. you knwo that no one will be asleep at that dosage. they will be in a fucked up semi-coma going in an out of other realities and acting fucking nuts, but not sleeping. :)
 
marijuana works the best hands down

then valium, then halcion.

estazolam works decently as well.

massive doses of diphenhydramine also work, but seriously huge, like someone above said: 500mg+. that will make some people hallucinate n shit, so i wouldnt recommend it....

beer is awesome. for every reason. definatly helps fall asleep if you just drink a light amount. if you get drunk then youll wake up after a couple hours and not be able to sleep and youll have the spins and it SUCKS

It is a well known fact that small doses of alcohol act stimulating because it's a GABA-B agonist in low doses. One of the basic rules for sleeplesness is avoid any alcoholic drinks before bedtime.

To stay back on topic, I'm an insomniac and use 10mg Melatonin a few hours before bedtime and 1-2mg Rohypnol to fall asleep and maintain my sleep throughout the night. I also take 7,5-15mg Dormicum if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep anymore. I've also had Normison for a while, which is a very effective hypnotic, but not as good as Rohypnol, it's just a few hours too short acting for me.
 
sorry dude. it is ALSO very well known that small doses of alcohol WILL help put you to sleep nicely through the night. like i said in lareger doses it NEVER works, cause i ALWAYS wake up after a few hours and cant get back to sleep.
this is how everyone i know reacts as well.
just becsaue some people may get a slight feeling of energy after a few drinks, does not make it a stimulant, and does not mean that it even makes everyone energetic. infact ive NEVER gotten energetic off any amount of alcohol. sometimes after 2 drinks im about ready to pass out due to being so sedated.
its not a stimulant, and it DOES work well for MANY but not all people to sleep.
 
the energetic feeling people report is USUALY from lowering of inhibitions in social settings. sitting at home before bed if you take 2 drinks say, your NOT going to get energetic. atleast, its NOT very likely
 
ive heard its a powerful sleep aid. does it really fuck with your brain chemistry? its an anti-psych right? i used to have access to this shit but never tried it
peace
 
Currently I take 10 mg Zyprexa Zydis and 7.5-15 mg Imovane at bedtime. It's a pretty decent combination for sleep, although it sometimes doesn't work and I end up having difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep.

If I had the choice of any hypnotic though, it'd be either temazepam, midazolam or ideally, triazolam.

Seroquel is great for a good night's sleep. Start @ about 50-100mgs... u'll be asleep w/in the hour.
I've heard of that too. I think I heard you wake up fucked up the next day, like all groggy, tired, etc. Don't know if that's true or not.
 
i must be a mammoth.

im in heroin wd. last time i used was friday at 6pm (slept fri night)

the 1st night (sat)i took 100mg of diphenhydramine and smoked some blueberry...no sleep, not even close. tossed and turned for 9 hours in bed starting to hit bad wd

the 2rd night (sun, last night) i was in bad shape from wd and not sleeping i ate a ambien cr to knock me out, didnt work. bedtime: ended up snorting a cr that night and then smoking a fat bowl, i TRIPPED MY NUTS OFF for about 2 hours...came down, couldnt sleep. RLS KILLING ME. I popped 10mg of diazepam to get me to go to sleep...didnt work. dammit

i absolutely hate second generation anti-psychotics.

there is no worse feeling than seroquel, except for zyprexa.

yes, theyll both knock you on your ass, but honestly id rather stay awake all night and read a book.

why are you using such low doses to knock yourself out?

10mg diazapam? lol try 50, i bet you could sleep then...

also, w/ding from heroin? thats what i assume...
