Severe insomnia

[Matt the Funk]

Alright so since i've been taking prozac my insomnia has been worse than usual. Without weed, I don't get tired till about 2am, it takes a half hour to an hour and a half to fall asleep, and in the middle of the night I wake up about 3 times, I have extremely vivid dreams too, and then I wake up for good around 6-8. Now the not sleeping well doesn't bother me too much, but I think its making me really spacey during the day. Also I don't feel like smoking weed for a while since I ate a lot of special cookies this weekend, and smoke a lot too. So what can I do to help me sleep? Melatonin is not for me, I already take seroquel at night to sleep, and I don't have any herbs at my disposal. So basically what I'm asking is, what can I do to sleep? I just want to fucking sleep without waking up, and stop putting so much shit into my body.

I have the perfect cure for you. Going to prescription drugs is a no no they usually cause dependencies and make you and all around drowsy piece of shit. The cure is Valerian root, it is a 100% natural herb from the plant ( valeriana officinalis ). Does not cause dependency and will not make you drowsy the next day. It has no dramatic side effects!

Some Info
* Valerian has long been used for sleep disorders and anxiety.
* Valerian has also been used for other conditions, such as headaches, depression, irregular heartbeat, and trembling.

Valerian is believed to work in ways similar to but weaker than the prescription drugs in the benzodiazepine class. Both increase the bodyâ??s supply of a neurotransmitter known as gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). Neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry messages from nerve cells to other cells. One of GABAâ??s effects is to regulate nerve cells so they do not activate too often. Like benzodiazepine drugs, valerian may increase GABA production, decrease its re-absorption, and/or interfere with its break down. Unlike benzodiazepines, though, valerian may not have as much residual â??hangoverâ?� effect on daytime physical or mental functioning. In addition, stopping valerian after taking it for extended times may not produce a â??reboundâ?� effect (worsened insomnia) as some prescription sleeping pills do when they are discontinued.

Valerian is not usually applied to the skin, but occasionally it may be added to bath water. Inhaling the vapor from the warm water may help relieve nervousness and induce sleepiness. Similarly, shredded valerian root may be put into simmering water so the steam can be inhaled as a relaxant.

This can be bought as an herbal supplement by anyone at your local grocery store or health center
