In reply to What do you take for insomnia?, posted by TylerJ on April 4, 2006, at 10:08:15
Hi Tyler,My Pdoc tried me on "Gravol", but only had a effect for about 4 hours. Then she prescribe me 1000 mg of Tryptophan but since am I on a MAOI I got to educate herself about the possibility of simply KILLING ME with her uneducated decision.
And now the good news; Chloral Hydrate. This is what I'm on and it works quite good. But their is 2 drawbacks: your pharmacy may not be able to found the pill form of the drug, leaving you with a syrup who taste bad. And the possibility of getting addict to it, just like on Benzos for the matter.
Wish we had Ambien here in Canada. But it is very unlikely since our governement is doing very little to fight the online pharmacy selling to the US.
