My doctor gave me klonopin (or whatever unpronounceable generic) as a sleep aid. Same concept, I think. Relaxing your brain a bit rather than directly making you sleepy.
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Lorazapam is the only thing to get me to sleep some nights.
I take half a Xanax if I need it, occasionally a whole one. It takes me a few months to go through a bottle of 30 pills. I was taking melatonin every night but the chiro I saw last week suggested giving that a rest for a bit to make sure my pineal gland was still functioning.
bonny, I'm glad you had the presence of mind to talk that situation out here. What a terrible person.
I'm working at least half a day tomorrow. I know I'll be glad when I get my paycheck (last week was only 20 hrs) but right now I'm not looking forward to it. I think I'll go to bed now.
I'm going to bed early too, smonster. Despite having too much caffeine today, just to keep going. TylenolPM to the rescue, I hope.
Having worked through the incident here this morning, which made me able to get on with my day.
Thanks so much, everyone.
Um, and question I kinda neglected to ask my Dr for kinda obvious reasons: if a valium gets me 7 hrs of decent sleep, and 1/4 of a brownie gets me 13 hrs of extremely restless sleep, would the two combined be super awesome or dear-god-don't-do-that-or-your-heart-will-stop-beating bad.
I will be happy when the schedule slows down to the point where I'm not working 20 hour days.

Yes.
Joy. Thank god I'm right handed, but keyboards don't really care.
erin, if I had brownies, I would try halving those amounts and seeing what happens, and go from there.
