hello there, chemist here....you were taking luminal and it didn't work???? phenobarbital is quite a heavy hitter; amytal is amobarbital, yet another barbituate sedative/hypnotic (and the dreaded ``truth serum'' they give to bad guys in spy movies and in real life). you would need about 1/5 as much amytal to achieve the desired effect of luminal, so if your doctor will prescribe it, it might do the trick. however, i wouldn't think that one could remain awake on the stuff or function, but apparently you seem to be rather resistant to the others: maybe your body chemistry is just plain different....anyway, i do hope this helps, please keep us informed, and all the best, chemist
