Re: Inomnia -- good med without dependance?

Yeah.

It's interesting that you look at the pharmacology of the tricyclic antidepressants, and the atypical psychotics, and the main mechanism of sleep is *SUPRISE* anti-cholinergenic action. If I wanted that, I would buy some wal-som and use it, less chance of seretonin sydrome, or getting twitches I can never get rid of.

Unfortunatly, it seems anything that works with GABA (and works!) seems to be tolerance forming. I was thinking about getting Halcion because of supposedly very short half life, but was worried about tolerance and dependance issues.

As for the herbal approach, I've tried it all. Kava-Kava, valerian, melatonin, even mixes with valerian and passionroot and all sorts of 'sedating' herbs. They work, but only if i eat half a 10 dollar package of them. Melatonin doesn't even seem to be able to improve my dream recall, let alone help me sleep.

Flexeril may proove useful, I have heard other people say that that helps them sleep. I would be happy with an anti-c as long as I could find one that was STRONG with an increadibly short half life.

Oh well... I wonder if I could work out a feasable rotation scheme.
