Hello everyone,
I'm new here. Found this board by accident tonight, but I know I've read about it in other places. I was a well-established member of another community centered around pharmaceuticals until it closed down. I have plenty of pharm experience. I don't drink, and I don't do stimulants, but most everything else has been tried at least once. Now I'm rambling when I just wanted to say hi. 8(

See you around the forum.

edit: I forgot to mention what brought me here, and what kind of information I am looking for. I am looking to sleep. I've tried A LOT for it. My current cocktail of meds is not working for me, and I'm looking for ideas of what to possibly try next. Thanks.

It's probably much easier to post what I haven't tried. Everything you can think of off the top of your head I've tried and failed at. Anti-depressants, benzos, hypnotics, anti-psychotics, muscle relaxants, multiple strains of cannabis, your usual OTC junk, homeopathic remedies - you name it. When I was on narcotic pain meds I didn't sleep - the euphoria was very stimulating to me. Benadryl (and vistaril) worked when I was in my teens, but now it gives me a dystonic reaction.

I have not tried Sonata. I am guessing that is next on the list when I report back that Lunesta is not working. Not working also is: doxepin, mirtazapine, seroquel. I keep taking it in fear of the withdrawl associated with anti-depressants. I've been through enough of that to know what happens.

Sorry if I wasn't supposed to be so specific here.

Melatonin and Kava Kava root work well for me. About 2mg, and 1g respectively.

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. Both tried and failed. :( I even got a prescription for Rozerem, that didn't work. Ordered high quality Kava Kava root from Hawaii (I had great experiences drinking it there) but all it does is take me down a notch when I'm edgy. Thanks for the ideas, though.
 
Hi & Welcome (:

Do you like benzodiazepines? Those have to be my favorite- I have depression, anxiety and some terrible insomnia. Works wonders

I've worn out my welcome with benzos too. :( I was taking clonazepam for a long time, but it wasn't working anymore. I had gone through almost all of the other ones.
 
have you tried an all day long grueling workout? like handmixing 90lb sacks of concrete and pouring for 16 hours straight? maybe you could use a new driveway?

Wow. I'm not sure I could do that; I am definitely not strong enough to do that job. I am also thinking DH would assume I was having a manic episode and would call the hospital to come pick me up. ;) I get some form of exercise every day, but when I push my limits, it's almost like that energizes me more and I end up too hyper to sleep. I might not find my answer here, but it is fun reading all of the other threads and maybe my experience can help someone else. :)
 
How much exercise do you get in a given day?

Welcome to Bluelight! I found temazepam is the only benzo which really does help improve sleep quality (only if taken occasionally and not regularly).

I am sorry to hear you have such bad experiences with sleep meds!
 
Sorry for the delay i was going through my meds list and wow you have taken almost the same as I. How about rozerem that did work for me for about 6 months but doc had to DC. due to insurance took off formulary. The old standard was Halcion but some docs have a hard time justifying it due to the incident of abuse and OD's.I have no good answers for you have you been checked for sleep apnea.gone to sleep clinic for the studies? I wish i had better answers , real tough subject..M.

edit1:get into a schedule keep a sleep journal , take long hot showers 1 hour before bed,stay away from stimulants , eat right -reduce sugars,no alcohol, sex right before bed and not strenuous sex,and hell count sheep or your fav woodland creature.

I find that trazodone knocks me out... the first time I ever tried it I just took I think 50mg and was then getting undressed and such and getting ready for bed and in about 10min I had to lay down because I got all wobbly and tired... as soon as I laid down I was out....
 
I don't think you mentioned masturbation in your going to sleep attempts :p
No seriously, that's how I get to sleep almost every night. I still have some pretty serious sleeping issues but Melatonin, marijuana, and sex seems to work for me on mild nights.X
 
Welcome to the light chemschemschems!

In regards to sleeping, check out this thread in the Second Opinion forum :)

If you need help with anything, just PM a moderator and they will do their best to help you out.
 
Though it's not a benzo, Tramadol is excellent for sleep purposes. If you're the type that just snowball-effects all your stress and worry before bed- this medicine will
1) ease your mind
2) relax your entire body
3) and lift your spirits

In combination with an OTC sleeping pill like doxylamine succinate or benadryl, my goodness it's the ultimate remedy for nighttime restlessness/insomnia. You will be literally saying "Goodnight & sleep tight, beautiful world! I can't wait to spend another well-rested day with you tomorrow". Euphoric and calming.
 
i had the same problem for a while until i made the oddest concoction and passed out idk if it will work for you but just trying to helo although idk how old this post was lol but for me a few xanax bars about 3 or 4 with some flexoral and some niquil made me pass out.. but i warn you the next day you're going to be tired as all hell

I wouldn't use this combination, too many drugs for sleep alone.

Alprazolam detracts from sleep quality by limiting the amount of REM sleep you will experience.
