best cure for insomnia?

Shepj i think it would be much easier for you to trust doctors if you didnt have a private system. in england we have the NHS and though the hospitals arent the best the GPs (general practitioner) arent bad. my doctor lets me pretty much prescribe myself, i go to him with the problem and suggest something and he'll do it, amazing service!

did this shit turn into a subject of whom to trust???? He's simply asking opinions man. He'll do his own research to figure what works best for him.

"I gotta agree with this. Although I will not agree that all doctors are this way, I will agree that some (too many) are. I also agree partially about the "commission" as Drs for sure get flack/slack for what they prescribing...be it from you, drug sales people, the insurance company etc.

I watched my buddy go to therapy, and have some asshole prescribe him shit that he didn't need, and made him think he had some kind of chemical brain imbalance. I'm very happy that 6 months later my friend doesn't go to the psych anymore, and he lives a happy life without those fuckin' zombie pills that the jackass "Dr" gave him. Don't get me started on how Drs throw fuckin' adderall and shit like that around."

Not what I said, but you're close. Someone on here doesn't get a cheque or comission for telling you to take medication, they don't get a follow-up specialists visit, they don't care what insurance you have or how old you are or where you live or your ethnicity.. they care that you're doing well. So any advise on here I think is more caring than that of a doctor, better advice? Not necessarily, but definitely more in-depth caring advice.

I know more about my body than my physician knows, and I know probably close to how to cure them as my doctor does (and he's pretty badass, not the kind of guy who hands out scripts when people don't need them). I live on medical and drug sites and have an understanding of biology and chemistry.. it's not as complex as they want you to think man.. anyone who has the desire to learn about modern medicine can take pharmacology and neuropharmacology.. like I said a while back, go to bluelight sometime, probably 75% of those people know more than your and my doctor combined.

A practiced physician? Actually the law that made doctors not allowed to recommend something other than modern medication (in this case, medical marijuana) was dropped years ago.. a.k.a you're full of shit. Any medical marijuana state you can go before a "practiced physician" and get a doctors recommendation (as medical marijuana is not prescribed in any state in the US, as it is still a Schedule I Substance).

I'm saying you ask anyone and everyone that may be informed, and not to believe EVERYTHING that comes out of a Dr's mouth because EVERYTHING may not me true. Ask your physician for help. I would. I really like my GP; he's a great guy. That also doesn't mean I'm goin' to take anything he gives me just because he said so.

You're the one that made the amibien thread, told the Dr you got fucked up physically from an ambien blackout and he still gave you more. That doesn't seem fucked up to you? Does that seems like the Dr really gives a shit about YOU?

edit: sometimes I use qualifiers like "most", "some", "not all"...ooo look I started this edit with one. this means I usually don't make very very tightly knit blanket generalizations. also, I will agree with shepj often because he is often right, no need to get us confused.

have sex. if thats not a possibility at that moment just jerk off. lol seriously it works.

Fuck W.C. Fields and his amazing paradoxical statements. Thats like saying the cure for drug addiction is to stop doing drugs.

my gf lives with me. id probly sleep better without it...... anyone whos had a wife or long term gf knows wtf im talking about

I simply turn off. Like a switch. It's about finding your center and letting the hard drive come to rest. I think people with insomnia have difficulty in not being able to do this. You either end up thinking about things you cannot change (at least while you are in bed) or thinking about not being able to sleep. In the end, you must take control of the babbler within you.
Have you tried meditation? You might also want to exercise about an hour before trying to sleep followed by a hot shower.

Seems Sittin has a babbler next to him

im seriously thinking its the lights. i cant wait to go to 12/12 so i can have nights longer than 6hours

Valerian root, melatonin, and some chamomille(sp?) tea. Should do the trick you can pick all that stuff up at Walgreens or somewhere like that

It took me long time to get used to my wife wanting to watch the TV in bed. I like my room completely dark when I doze. I hardly watch the darn thing myself.

I'll agree with Valerian, but not the root, maybe the extract...

As to the other two.. from almost every study melatonin doesn't do shit (you can read about it, #35 in PiHKAL).

And as to chamomile, it's a little relaxing, but not very sedating.

extended use of melatonin can cause worse sleeping problems.

yer some heavy indica and then bust a nut and i bet you wont be able to stay awake.

MrBaker said:

Hmph, I was gonna say pot and xanax, too. Between those 2, I'm fuckin' out like a light.

After those, I'd try this: 1. beat off 2. smoke some hardcore indica 3. put forth a serious effort to meditate. It will take time to learn if you haven't already, but being able to make your brain shut up/quit worrying and then to lead yourself through some relaxing prompts will enable you to sleep.

I agree with this guy when he says "Meditate" you will really find yourself relaxing and you will be able to take your mind wherever it wanders, set your mind free!
