Ok I’ll tell you my pill concoction. Gabspentin to turn off my brain, ropinirole for keep my legs from bruising me, and clonidine to lower my blood pressure. All of these combined make it hard to stay awake.
Indica edibles work better than any sleeping med I’ve tried. For me, it’s hard to turn my brain off, but cannabis throws my train of thought off track so well that it’s perfect to keep myself from ruminating instead of sleeping. It’s a shame it isn’t legal in more places, and a shame that my state doesn’t recognize it as a treatment for insomnia (so I can’t get a medical card/discounts for it.)
Otherwise, I’ve been prescribed hydroxyzine (brand name Vistaril) for insomnia. It’s an antihistamine, so there’s a chance of drowsiness in the morning, and sometimes I find I’m too sluggish the following day. I use it on occasion, but nothing works quite as well as the edibles I mentioned. No drowsiness in the morning, no remaining high, and I haven’t experienced any side effects.
Except it’s more “why I can’t begin the nighttime procedure that I should have started an hour before bedtime”
