I think Greg doucette take modafinal to stay awake during day and helps with sleeping at night

 

[Dirtnasty]

I’m used to no sleep and then crash. At this point from work and working out

 

[Future_ifbb_pro14900]

That’s a lifestyle I shall never accept. You are a tough one for going through that

 

[Dirtnasty]

I’m
Close

I’ve had insomnia my whole life as well. The only thing that has ever helped me is lorazepam and mitrazapine. Those get me to fall and stay asleep

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

Does making yourself physically exhausted (i.e. running a half marathon or 3 hour workout) have any effect on your sleep cycle or circadian rhythms?

 

[Cluster]

No sir i do it almost every day, also ive been on rozerum which is for circadian rhythm in blind people with no avail

 

[Cluster]

Thats what i just was takin off of

When you smoke. Take CBD oil as well. It will take the “overly” high and “paranoia” edge off really quick. Or so that’s what my son says who works in the cannabis industry.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Yep really high thc is great and all but it needs to be balanced.

 

[TBU]

I take lorazepam and Trazodone. Both help me with anxiety and depression. Along with a bit of Zoloft. So I sleep like a baby. Almost dead sleep all night.

 

[Cluster]

Damn im jealous

 

[Kad1]

[Cluster]

As of now im looking fo modanifil online, im not waiting till may 10th feeling like shit. Thats what theyre gonna give me anyway

Cataplexy or not…Xyrem by jazz pharma. They just approved one for kids. Its GHB. You can only get it from one place and its highly controlled but when Xyrem is used for medicinal purposes, such as narcolepsy, it is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. However, even if you obtain Xyrem for medicinal use, but then misuse it or offer it to anybody else to use, then it is considered a Schedule I controlled substance and illicit use is subject to Schedule I penalties. There is now “idiopathic hypersomnia” basically we don’t know whats causing you to be tired all day even though you might sleep at night. It is effective and safe at the prescribed amounts and metabolized by the liver into CO2 +H2O. If someone was to take it wrong or with ambien, or Gaba-A drugs, ETOH, it becomes an asshole. but one of the safest meds out there. If you are having this big of a problem , all kidding aside. This will work.

 

[Cluster]

Thank you so much man i go back today i will write this down

 

[Cluster]

Well @rnmuscle you were right went to the dr. Today and they want to put me on xyrem. But 1st i got to do a sleep study that takes all night then stay at the hospital all next day and take 5 naps to check rem sleep time. Ive been looking it up and man its a serious drug! And its widly abused for ghb or something. So to even get the drug ive got to have more of a diagnosis which is why the studies
G

 

[rnmuscle]

Safe medication can be abused, yadaa, yada. Theres a program that your talking about, which is REMS. It might feel like you have to jump through hoops ,but like ive always thought, if your quality of life is getting really crappy due to not getting rest and good recovery, then you’ll sign a few more papers or tests. Im very happy , your lucky you have a good DR. In the fact that its more work for them too.(well , maybe the staff)

 

[Cluster]

Yes sir almost there
