Melatonin

[slipknotpsycho]

doesn't work for me... i still have like half a bottle of it... i started at like 1 mg and was up to 3... after a few weeks i just gave up on it working.

but then again i have severe insomnia.. and even with OTC sleeping pills like benadryl (same dose, same exact active ingredient as sleeping pills, but alot cheaper.... lol go figure) i have to take upwards of 10 or more to go to sleep (my tollerance is high, and builds fast.. i've been on it since i was like 5... even after my 'breaks' to reset my tollerance, i still have to take atlesat 6.)

Melatonin is good stuff, recently i had a physical and the doc told me melatonin messes with the adrenal gland so you don't want to go over 3 mg, A book from Dr. Atkins says you can take up to six mg safely, I don't know...
my bed cocktail is 3mg of melatonin for falling asleep and I take an amino acid called 5 htp with B6 to stay sleeping all night, man there is nothing like quality sleep

But melatonin works great, but FUCKED UP MY DREAMS. Totally made me have trippy ass lucid dreams where I couldn't wake up. Total nightmares.

Agreed. It works, but the nightmares were not so good.
Thankfully, I don't need to use it anymore. Now I use something else...exhaustion.

There's a chemical called cyclobenzaprine, prescribed as a (non-opiate) muscle relaxant called Flexeril, and THAT stuff will put you to sleep! It's odd because 50% of the time I try taking it in the day I just get really tired and go to sleep.... but the other 50% I get so "high" it's like being drunk without the blurred vision, slurring speach, or general "poisoned" feeling. I remember having it before philosophy class, because my back would lock up by the end of the prior class, and the whole time I sat there in total euphoria watching the walls move like waves
