Hi again
Sorry, I thought I had replied already but my post must have failed or something. Thanks for the info. I've now given it a couple of goes. Once, for safety, at 1mg in the evening. The second time was 2.5 mg on the subsequent evening.
Certainly the second time, the mood lift was detectable, albeit mild. The wierdest thing though was that it made me feel compelled to go to bed. Hold on, hold on, I know that doesn't sound wierd - so I should explain: I don't mean it made me feel tired. It made me actually start thinking: "what I would love to do is go to bed and watch a film or something." I repeat - NO tiredness.
So I do this. I go up, get comfy, put on the film, feeling perfectly awake and cheerful whilst doing all this. Then I start watching and that's it, I'm gone.
I didn't get 2 minutes into the film!! But at no point did I feel tired or start nodding.
That's the first bit.
The second bit was the dreams. I have NEVER, bar none, had such insane, intense, disturbing and humorous dreams. This I was not expecting. I woke up in the early hours, and felt like going back to sleep - but the rest of the night was filled with so many mental dreams that the quality of sleep was poor. Nothing like the all-night stint you get from many other benzos and sleepers.
It might have been different if I hadn't been woken up in the early hours. Noise outside did it. I will try it again when I know there won't be any disturbances. I am guessing that I will sleep through, then come through the REM sleep with mental dreams, but wake up feeling more refreshed.
Based on that, I would say don't use these in the evening if there might be disturbances in the night.
Anyway, we'll see what happens next time.
Thanks for the reply Catman.
am I jabbering? Over to you!
