Pharmaceutical Sleep Aids

[The Red Dragon]

I've got an exam at 8:30 tomorrow, and I can't fucking get to sleep...my sleep cycle is off whack. I'm wondering if there are any chems that won't fuck with me when I wake up (I have 3 mg melatonin (wake up groggy, shallow sleep) and 50 mg 5-hydroxytryptophan (does nothing for me))

Anyone have any suggestions? Stuff that actually works...legal or not .

I tried to fry my CNS by using extra/higher doses of EC stacks...the crashes are pretty bad but I didn't fuckin crash...I also rubbed one out in bed...nothing.

Ambien 5mg, or 10 mg. PREscription.

OR

500mg L-tryptophan 2 to 4 caps before bedtime.

Or up the dose to 100 mg of 5 HTP

OR

Gaba 400mg

warm glass of milk

dont worry about it too much, i struggle to get 6 hrs before an exam just because of all the info flatin in my head....try to get a bit of coffee, some ginko and glucose sports drink in the morning, the latter have been shown to increase brain ATP

I think L-Tryptophan from food is useless since it can't cross the brain blood barrier with a good enough efficiency to help you fall asleep

Ambien is the best I've seen, so far. Knocks you out and absolutely no morning "hangover". Make sure you have at least 6 hrs or else you might sleep thru the alarm.

You may wish to call your doc + ask about a new sleep aid that recently coame out - Lunesta. It is a non narcotic, with no tolreance/dependecny issues like Ambien, BZDs, etc. It is approved by the FDA for chronic[more than 6 months] use, and studies have shown it has no drop off effect, or side effect carryover like the others do. You can easily get samples from the doc to try it.
the company is Sepacor, I think.
Hope I helped.
