In reply to Baclofen for sleep?, posted by mtdewcmu on July 15, 2011, at 19:45:55
> I have had good results with phenibut for getting better sleep and reducing early-morning awakenings. It's kind of expensive, though, and I ran out a few days ago because I didn't have the money to order more. Since running out, I rapidly started waking up too early and waking up feeling unrefreshed. A couple of days of that and my mental state rapidly goes downhill. So I was wondering if anybody knows if baclofen could be a viable replacement. It would be dramatically cheaper than phenibut. I know Lamdage mentioned it in the hypnotics thread recently. I found some scattered reports in the medical literature that make it sound like a pretty good sleep drug. It's curious that there didn't seem to be much attention paid to the good results. It's like the forgotten drug. I'm going to hit up my pdoc for some at my next appointment. It's worth a try.

diphenhydramine is cheap as shit. 2 or 3 bucks should last you half a year.
