A little cutty cove in the Northern Pacific.
I usually don't like to mix substances, but here's my situation. I didn't have any work obligations today, so I took a modafinil (2nd time, ever) to get some stuff at the house done. Things worked well, I got shit done, but then I forgot that I've only gotten 10hrs of sleep in the last 3 days. I've been wired and over-tired, and that, mixed with modafinil is making me feel so bad. So I asked a friend who has a huge stash of pills if I could get something for that. I go to her house to pick it up and she gives me a bunch of Ativan, a bunch of ambien, and a bunch of flurazapam, which I know nothing about. As I was at this chicks house, I took 2mg ativan to help deal with this nasty over-tired, stimulated feeling. I feel less edgy, but my brain, I just can't use it right, it's like there is a fight between the ativan the modafinil and my head keeps swaying, I feel like I'm on a boat. So I figure, I should really, really go to sleep. I can't be like this much longer, I NEED TO GET SOME SLEEP, TONIGHT. At this point it's dangerous because of my neuro issues.

So, with a supply of ambien, flurazapam, and ativan. What is the best way to fall asleep, and stay asleep?

I think that since I've already started with ativan I should use that until I'm tired.

I read that flurazapam is really good putting you on your ass, feels good, but also lasts a really long time. Since there is so little info on it (even on BL) I'd like to hear from someone who has an experience with flurazapam before I consider it

You might tell me that I should just ride it out and go to bed when its natural... That's def not going to happen. I've tried that 3 days in a row, and like I said, missing another night of sleep, at this point, would be dangerous.

The ambien is the nuclear option, if nothing works, it's my last line of defense, although if that doesn't work it looks like I'll be having a trip.
 
Go pick up some diphenhydramine. Take 100mg.

It counteracts the effects of modafinil extremely well. I in fact recently learned the trick of taking both at the same time before trying to only sleep a few hours (I'm usually a very heavy sleeper with trouble getting up). Diphenhydramine has a much shorter half life, and does a great job knocking me out... then around 5 hours later the modafinil acts unopposed and I'm wide awake and (decently) well rested, ready to tackle whatever god-awful task made me get up at 6am in the first place.
 
I was going to grab some, but the store closed. Since I live the financial district they are only open till 7, everyone with a job went home, and only a handful of people live here. So I have no access to DPH unless I walk 10 blocks.

Either way, I took all my ativans, 5-6mg's. I also just plugged some flurazpam cause I found you can do with fluraz cause it's water soluble. It was my first time plugging too. When I was in the hospital the last time (3 weeks ago), I stole a huge needless syringe full of saline, nurse saw me, and didn't care at all. She asked me what it was for, and I said these things have many good uses around the kitchen. She seemed dupted. So I read a tech about 30min ago, and I plugged away. I never though I'd do that. It's not emasculating at all, it doesn't hurt or anything. Took a second to get used to it though.
 
Best of luck! Perhaps you've discovered a novel method for coming down from Modafinil, or are about to become an interesting case report in a forensic science journal. 8(

Haha, but more likely neither. I'm just not much of a fan for using benzos to sleep. I'd generally rather be awake than in benzo-induced sleep. The half life of flurazepam is also retardedly long. I would have sooner walked the 10 blocks, and saved the Lorazepam for coming down from harder stims, and the Flurazepam for withdrawing from said harder stims =D
 
I don't do much things that need comedown kits, at least not recently. Like I said, I have to sleep with what I've got, hopefully after tomorrow (based on calculations) I should be on the right track to sleeping by myself or by smoking weed.

On a side note, I'm tripping pretty hard. Didn't take any z-drugs or anything like that. I took 400mg of modafinil, 5 hours later, I took 2 ativan. 3 hours later, I plugged 2 flutazapam. I'm not going to lie, I feel really good. Things in my periforal vision turns from things on the ground to full blows hallucination, somewhat like DXM but also like a Zdrug, I have no other way to explain this. There is no euphoria to speak of.

BUT I just had to talk to my ex, and it went really well. Shockingly well. I was on point. I feel like the uppers and downers are mixing to create a new form of intoxication, I'm relaxed but not totally tired.

I feel like this shit would go SSSOOOO well with weed. I'll let you know in few min
 
I'm trippin balls after trying all those things I said I would. I still got only 2-3 hours which didn't happen till about an hour later. It feels like I'm in the middle of a business meeting and no ones there. In the corner of my eyes I see people everywhere but when I look at them, they become parts full of the waterfall, and everyone I know is talking with me, giving me explanations for things I never knew. I really don't know what's going on and which drug is responsible for how I'm trying to reply
 
w.. t... f...

Those were some crazy ass hallucinations. I eventually went down to the lobby of my building to go smoke, and the doorman just looked at me and started laughing (he's chill though). He had to help me get back into the elevator after my cig, which I smoked forever. This huge buddha statues was the "Gang Leader" of all the people and he would talk to and stuff.

I still can't explain all the people who were talking to me and then running away.

So, what HR to get out of this: Don't keep more benzo's around, if your benzoed there is no stopping you.

I still did get 12+ hours of sleep, which I'm so fucking thankful for
