I dont want to really even bring up the work "barbiturate" to my pdoc. He is in his 70's (cant belive that) so he has experince with the past.
Amytal lasts for about 6 hours. I dont know, because first i heard barbiturtes suppress REM sleep, and eventually they become ineffective.
I do take Prozac 20mg, increases serotonin but i dont know if i need another antidepressant beuase i know serotonin helps with sleep.
I have taken a barbiturate before, pentobarbital. But that was only 1 time.
Does anyone know what really is the best treatment.
I currently take
Restoril 30mg
Clonazepam 1mg nightly
