I need to ask my dr for a script. What, if any helps you sleep for 8 hours and you don’t wake up in a fog. I can’t do unisom because of the grogginess the next day. Melatonin doesn’t do shit. Anyone on a script that works that I don’t know the name of? I know about Ambien but also know about sometimes goofy side effects but I will try anything at this point. TIA

This! Couple puffs and you'll sleep like a baby. With no fog when you wake up.

Indica may be a little head strong for you if you dont smoke. Sativa might be a better option at first. Either way both will work.

I got Lunesta after my open heart surgery to get me to sleep. They have no side effects that I have noticed.

That's why I suggested the sativa instead of indica.

I'm just into more natural remedies other than pharmaceuticals. The long term effects on the liver and kidneys of most pharmaceuticals definitely outweighs the lung issue from smokin weed. Even a small mg of edibles (I prefer gummies) would work for you. Just on option.

Have you tried an Indica edible? People swear by them, nothing like smoking pot.

Done right you should never know you took anything. It takes an hour to kick in and last 3-4 hours. So take 5-10mg and go right to bed. You should be able to ease into it and relax and be fully asleep before any of the “high”… then you should sleep solid through it and be fully rested and out of the thc/cbd effect long before waking up. I am a fan of the fully natural remedy over the chemical pharma solutions.

Actually regular old Tylenol helps a little for me. A few times over the years I've taken a small dose of Ativan or Lorazepam. A doctor won't give you that for a long term problem though.

Melatonin works well for me. It enables me to go back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. Bonus: It's supposed to increase resistance to the Vid

Nortriptyline. I used to take Ambien. It interacted with the Fentanyl patch I wear 24 hours a day, and led to monumental middle of the night crazies. I would wake up standing in the kitchen, yelling at the air, and inventing people and things that didn't exist.

It created some relationship problems.

😜 😁

Try an edible instead of smoking. Once you figure out the dosage that works for you they work great.

Depends, do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? To fall asleep something like ambien or alprosalame (Xanax) can help. To stay asleep you’ll want a hypnotic drug (if that’s your route). Understanding that not everyone wants pharma to sleep, but when your at wits end there can be a solution.

Abvil or Tylenol PMs help me. Not groggy in the morning and it helps with the pains.

34 years of 12 hour rotating shift work, i can say i have tried most things. Ambien worked best for me but i know other guys who can't even take it. I can get up to 3 hours of sleep with one dose, extra don't help, not great but something. Depending what time it is and if I'm working or not another small dose get me 3 more hours. I will try weed once i retire.

I quit taking Ambien mainly because it would only get me to sleep for about 5 hours then I tossed and turned.

Now I take a Unisom and a product called Total Human from Onnit. Works great

10mg indica watermelon flavored gummis when i take something to help me sleep which hasnt been very often lately.

losing 50lbs has helped my sleep alot.
50 lbs lost? Well done

50 lbs would help me a lot , but that means I have to diet heavily and that sucks. ;)

I wouldn't mind trying an edible but my company doesn't allow it. Bummer

I wonder if scanning your DL at those stores would effect a California CCW ?

Asking for friend.

One of my friends gave me a bag of gummies. I'm not sure of the dosage. If I feel like I need a little sleep help I bite half of one. It mellows you out quite a bit. One time I munched a whole one. About 1:00 am I woke up with crazy dreams.... my wife asked what was wrong. LOL, I'm peaking!!! I stick with a half of one now.

over the counter generic sleeping pills by signature for me. says take one, but I take two when I really want to sleep. My Dr. prescribed Xanex which I'll take if I've had some bad nights and really need to sleep.

I do use tizanadine for originally a muscle relaxer. That’s what the script is for but also used for insomnia. The problem is Im up after 4 To 5 hours. So staying asleep longer.

Do you fall to sleep with the TV on? If so start with turning that off.
No tv. Nice cool room. And I sleep with a fan. Been doing the fan thing since I was 16. Even take it to hotel rooms. Don’t want to hear Helga cleaning early in the morning or people who slam the godamn doors late at night.
i need propofal. Like Michael Jackson. :p

I don't have a problem at all falling asleep, it's staying asleep that is my problem. In my 55 years I had never even tried the Ganja. But, I think it has it's worth compared to taking pills. So, recently I headed to the local weed shop. It was like an Apple store but with weed products, super nice place. I ended up buying a whole bunch of stuff, Vape pen, gummys, tincture, etc.. One night I decided to try the vape pen. I had to google it to figure out how to use it, but I finally got it charged and going. I took a 3 second deep hit (stupid) and waited. And waited.. Nothing... But, about an hour or so I felt this intense buzz feeling start at my head and flow down my body. I was so stoned, for the first time in my life, I closed up my laptop and stumbled town the hallway and fell on my bed. I slept for 13 hours. lol And I was stoned the whole next day... But, I over did it. I really think that THC has some good benefits to some people. It can definitely help with sleep in the right dosage. I like it when I'm at home and don't have to work the next day. In small doses It helps me relax. We all love a drink or two or three, but alcohol doesn't help with sleep. In a perfect world we would all be eating properly and getting plenty of exercise and we would sleep like babies. But until then we will search for the perfect remedy.
