> Have you tried Soma for insomnia? It seems sedating from what I've read. Seconal, wow. Not even Seconal alone does the trick?
I used Soma for a while at quite high doses (700mg five times daily) to help with my fibromyalgia. Recently I discovered that aspartame was causing all the pain, and upon giving up Diet Coke in exchange for drinks sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame-K the pain I once had to treat with the fentanyl patch is 100% absent. I've never found Soma at all sedating, though -- if anything, I find it quite activating. The best comparison I can make is that it feels like a Quaalude, without the drowsiness/stupor, combined with a bit of codeine and a small hit of MDMA or a standard dose of MDA.
I don't know what it is with me and barbiturates -- neither Seconal nor Amytal works for me on its own, but it seems they vastly potentiate each other when taken together.
