You could ask you doc for a different barbiturate instead. Here are some examples of the barbiturates available in the UK, most of them are probably available where you live as well.......

Hi ed-Thanks for the info. I've been on Nembutal before and am well aware of the risks. I never abused it while I was on it and I was only on it for 4 weeks. It's just a real help to get my sleep schedule back on schedule. I get the most peaceful relaxing sleep.
Perhaps I'll try one of the others if my doc allows. I'm desparate since nothing's working. This insomnia is keeping off work on medical leave so I need to get back on tarck soon!
Thanks again!
Jerry
