Thanks for allowing me in. So many questions. Tonight I'm curious if any of you have heard of estazolam? My Shrink is trying to find something to help my severe insomnia so found some research. Already tried Ambien for several years, restoril, Valium, Xanax, sonata, lunesta..shall I go on. Even Versed doesn't knock me out. And my shrink gives me 1mg of Clonopin and only 15? I know he doesn't know me well yet but I'm literally in tears wanting to sleep and it's taking over my life. So anything you guys could tell me about this med or any other meds that have worked for you it would be extremely appreciated

I have heard of it nakita, but have never seen it used either clinically or non - prescribed. But I do live in the UK, where our clinicians only use about 5 or 6 different benzodiazepines to cover most needs, and will not generally take risks on medicines they are not used to using - and as far as I am aware our National Health Service does not purchase this (the British National Formulary has never listed it as for as long as I have subscribed to it). Most of members don't (live on this rock) - and may have much more experience with this medicine.
All I can say is that other triazolo - benzodiazepines are notoriously potent, and while drugs like Triazolam and Estazolam are indicated for severe insomnia all the issues with other benzodoazepines (tolerance development >>> lack of efficacy >>>> dosage escalation etc) are generally magnified and accelerated with these compounds and as such if they do work for you I would imagine you would need to keep their use to an absolute minimum if you want to continue getting good effect.

Homemade CBD Sleep Gummies!
by Carrie Forrest | Sep 18 2018
These Homemade CBD Gummies for sleep are so delicious and easy to make. They can naturally help to improve the quality of your sleep.
CBD has been studied extensively. In regards to sleep, there was an interesting literature review published about the possible benefits of CBD in the treatment of insomnia.
Trying CBD oil for yourself is one of my top eight ways to sleep better.
There are a lot of CBD gummies and edibles on the market. Since I’m so picky about the quality of ingredients I use, I decided to try making my own CBD Gummy for sleep.
It’s super easy and kinda fun, so that’s why I’m sharing the recipe with you. Also, it’s more affordable to make your own!
Tart cherry juice
Tart Cherry Juice is an amazing supplement. Tart cherries have been studied for their benefits on sleep quality, especially in people who are already having a hard time with sleep.
Tart cherry juice is not only health-promoting, but it tastes great! It is tart, yes, but you’ll see that I off-set some of the tartness with raw honey in my CBD Sleep Gummy recipe below.
The CBD oil I recommend
There are a few reasons I recommend the CBD from Medterra. First, it's 100% free of THC. This means that you won’t fail a drug test and you likely won’t feel any negative side effects.
Items needed to make homemade CBD gummies
As mentioned, it’s actually really easy to make homemade CBD gummies. You’ll need a few key ingredients, including:
- CBD Oil (I used the 3,000mg tincture from Medterra; it contains 100mg of CBD per 1ml serving)
- Grass-fed collagen gelatin
- Tart cherry juice concentrate (you really should use this kind of juice...ed)
- Raw honey, or your choice of sweetener
- Gummy molds, I used this BPA-free silicone heart mold and this flower-shaped silicone mold
Steps to making your own homemade CBD gummies
- To make the gummies, you’ll heat the juice in a saucepan just to a very light simmer
- Next, whisk in the gelatin and the honey, stirring for about a minute until the ingredients are combined
- Turn off the heat and add two milliliters of CBD oil. Give the mixture one final whisk
- The last step is to pour the mixture into your mold. You can do this without spilling by transferring the mixture into a small pitcher
- Divide the juice mixture evenly into your mold. Place the mold on a baking sheet and set it in the freezer or the refrigerator to set
- Wait at least 30 minutes to one hour before removing the gummies from the molds
- Store the gummies in the fridge for up to 10 days

How long do CBD gummies take to kick in?
Allow at least 30 minutes for CBD gummies to help with sleep.
How many CBD gummies should I take?
Again, it’s a very individual decision to determine how many gummies you should take. I would recommend starting with the lowest dose and moving up from there.
