Is Lisiprin ever prescribed as a sleep aid? The intent is blood pressure regulation, but I didn't have a night of insomnia for the first year I was on the stuff. And for the first six months or so I would fall asleep within moments of sitting down on a couch and relaxing in the evening.

But once I stopped drinking caffeine 12 hours before going to bed, my insomnia improved greatly.
Yeah, now that my caffeine intake is one cup of coffee at 8 am, I really don't have the chronic problems getting to sleep that I used to. Amazing that it took me so long to figure out. I used to drink Dr. Pepper and Coke ALL DAY LONG in college. And I wondered why I slept so poorly. Wasn't until I started working, and was being excessively cheap (and thus cut out my soda habit) that I made the connection.
Occasionally will miss the ice tea and things like thai iced coffee, but.... Now if I indulge, I start bouncing off the walls and jumping at every little noise.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Also, bon -- your tagline just made me snort loudly enough that I had to explain my sudden inexplicable amusement to my co-workers.
Ha!

Woah. Totally one with the green eyed monster, over here. On the other non-scaly hand, yay Laura!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Is Lisiprin ever prescribed as a sleep aid? The intent is blood pressure regulation, but I didn't have a night of insomnia for the first year I was on the stuff. And for the first six months or so I would fall asleep within moments of sitting down on a couch and relaxing in the evening.
Matt, do you mean lisinopril? I doubt it would ever be prescribed as a sleep aid, only because it's a blood pressure med, and if it were prescribed to an insomniac with normal or low blood pressure, they'd have some serious blood pressure problems.
Probably the reason you slept so well, and would fall asleep right away, is that lisinopril can cause fatigue, because it basically suppresses your heart rate and your adrenalin response. I was on it for about a month, when I had to stop it b/c I was so exhausted all the time.

Trust my rage
I have nothing to say about sleep drugs but this:
so the nurses presented me to my Mom in a red Christmas stocking
is the cutest story ever. I think I would have kept the stocking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Teppy--I am waiting for my doctor's office to open because I see that I am not supposed to take Lexapro and Imitrex--and I am about to enter Week of Womanly Wonder, where I get slammed with migraines every day. You know anything about this? I can't be doing without my Imitrex.
