^^ I think the real issue here is the fact that this happened in the first place. Quality control went out the fuckin' window in this country. It's entirely changed to quantity control...
Try Zappos?
You will also need to promote a strong blue spectrum in the morning.. I know the lights seem expensive but maybe try ebay.. im not even playing.. it has worked wonders for me.. I think a circadian rhythm issues i have was a major root to my addiction.. I always wanted to take something to sleep well at the right time.. but in realty the use of benzos allowed me to sleep longer and at the right time.. But I woke up feeling sedated..
Also I belive dopamine is the real determinant on sleep.. so buy altering the other neurochemicals you may seem to address the problem but it may lead to no satisfactory solution.
So if you are going to look for medication I would look for a stimulant in the morning and the light therapy and shades as well as promoting the best sleep hygiene you can.
Any suggestions for a non prescription stimulant I could experiment with in the mornings? Something stimulating but not something heavily dopaminergic or whatever that will be super euphoric. Does ephedrine have any real value? or something similar? Besides caffeine, obviously.
I will definitely look into the lights too, thanks! I think maybe I need to start spending more time outside - if light plays this big of a role then I'm probably spending too much time inside. Otherwise I will try to get my sleep hygiene better because it has slacked lately - I have tried hard in the past with it without much success, but maybe nothing on the list I made has worked on its own but would work when combined with a few other items on the list. I just need to find the right combination.
The system is so beyond broken. I don't know if you guys checked out that article I posted in Drugs In The Media.. but it's about a 26 year old H addict who just got sentenced to 40 years in prison for selling small quantities of H to support his habit.
It just makes me sick that this is what our criminal justice system in the US has been reduced to.

That's over board. He's an addict he needs help. I just realised I made a judgement I shouldn't have made on that other thread. That person may have also been an addict too n I should have jumped to conclusions like that.
When you're an addict you don't think straight if this person had have been in his right mind (not addicted) he'd not have sold the stuff. This doesn't help anyone. Mr.scag could you post link to article so I can read it please?
About doc: went, he gave gell called Movelat for my neck n told me to take aspirin. He thinks it cause i been reading a lot / looking close at phone n computer too n could also be eye strain. But f*** it I'm not going to stop coming on BL because I have to look close at it. I've never stopped eyesight stop me doing anything n I'm certain not going to start now. Had a 10 year on n off internet addiction looking close at the computer scream n I never had back or neck problems.
If people think I'm going to start sitting in the middle of a room rocking back n forth feeling sorry for myself they can think again. There are lots of people worst off with cancer, no legs, no arms, MS all sort so I'm not letting a stupid eyesight condition get in the way, never have never will

Even someone who is not addicted and is selling heroin solely for profit shouldn't ever be locked in a cage.
In an illicit market there will always be unscrupulous people prepared to exploit the weak, these people exist in almost any area of business.
Do you see a huge market for illegally produced alcohol ? no
Do you see a huge market for illegally produced tobacco ? no
And yet these substances can be addictive and damaging, I would suggest that the problems I listed are as a result of prohibition in it's current form.
Provide a sensible means of supplying these substances and the illicit market could be largely eradicated, continue as we are and we throw £Millions at the ineffective 'ware on drugs' and many people die and other live their lives in misery, I know which one I'd be fighting for.
I don't want to clutter up this thread and this is not the place for in depth discussion on the issue but at the same time I don;t want to stifle discussion, you might change my mind.. if you want a debate on the subject I'd suggest EADD given your UK based.
I look forward to your thread over there![]()
