Title: How well did you sleep last night?
Post by: renaeden on October 29, 2011, 11:54:16 PM
I don't often start new topics...

I slept at a friend's after she had a party last night. I took two Phenergan so I slept well but she woke me up early so I haven't had enough sleep.

I found out recently that Phenergan used to be used as an antipsychotic.

 Shoulder pain and emotional pain both suck, hope you feel better soon.  :hug:

Very good last night and better over all since I began taking Adderall for ADD which is speed  oddly enough.  Only woke up once for Max's 2am bathroom break

I wanted to go to bed early, and I did. Very sleepy, the spinning head kind of sleepy.
Daughter kept me awake though, so, in the end it was way beyond midnight before I slept. Was past being sleepy.
Did wake early, but, gave myself another few hours of sleep, before getting up.

Not too bad a night.

Jumped in my bed early last night, ('round about half past eleven, I'd say), which is really early for me. And the good thing, surprisingly, I managed to doze off pretty fast after I hit it. Don't fall asleep that easily normally. Woke up early too.. not feeling unfit or anything. Um, a p/m 7½ on a 1 to 10 scale, I reckon.

(good thread to have, I think)

Have done this a lot lately. Must be going through another phase where I hardly sleep unless I take meds for it. Usually I feel ok despite little sleep but not this morning. Sort of aching behind my eyes.

Horribly.  Finally went to bed about 12:30, got up at 1:30, watched TV until 3ish.  Fell asleep on the sofa, PA woke me at 5:30 when he was leaving for his daily b'fast with the guys at McDonalds.  Went to bed, radio came on at 6:15, fell back asleep, alarm came on at 6:30.  PA woke me at 7:25 and asked if I was going to b'fast with my friend.

Badly, I haven't had insomnia like that for a while.
I can't figure out why; I had a good day yesterday and there was nothing on my mind.

Figured it out. I'd spent the past week performing every night and not being able to wind down until midnight.
That day I had an easy day, and my brain decided that I just hadn't worked hard enough, hence why, at 4am, it was going "It's noon, I'm telling you!" while I'm going "That's the dawn chorus, I'm telling you!"

Last night I slept reasonably well.

Slept from p/m 2am till 8am this morning. Um, as of late I get awaken early by the noise some constructors make renovating 2 houses p/m 25 meters away from my bedroom window. Drills, throwing stuff away in an open container, shouting, etc.. Well, I jumped back into my bed at 11am and slept for about 3 hours extra. When I manage to sleep during the day, mostly I fail trying though, I tend to have the nicest of dreams.  :green:

Just can't get my brain to shut up long enough to doze off.

I take Phenergan after a few really bad nights. But just looked it up and you need a prescription for it over there in the US (I am assuming you are in the US). Maybe you could try another antihistamine that has drowsiness as a side-effect.

I didn't sleep last night, and it looks like I won't sleep tonight either. Got a couple of hours during the day, so I'm not a complete zombie, but still.

Just can't get my brain to shut up long enough to doze off.
I know the feeling. :hug:
I take Phenergan after a few really bad nights. But just looked it up and you need a prescription for it over there in the US (I am assuming you are in the US). Maybe you could try another antihistamine that has drowsiness as a side-effect.

No, I'm British.

I don't want to take medication for it, in case I become dependant on medication to sleep.

Ah ok. Well meds for this stuff should always be taken sparingly. I use them to "reset" myself so to speak. So I can get a decent night's sleep and then go back to normal. A last resort when I am desperate for sleep and my brain won't slow down.

I could have looked up your IP to find out where you are from but I was slack and just assumed. :P

the PR,
a hair salon appt for her with a very weird staff meeting including a discussion of suicide prevention,
buying the PR a very used car there,
her running away into traffic and dropping things which I had to pick up,
the staff asking her to return a cassette tape from the meeting, 
me losing the keys to my car,
trying to figure out how to get two cars home (hair appointment was in a very distant location with fog in the area) (never did),
how to tell PA she had a rattletrap car when she can't drive
thankfully woke up.

Somewhat short, and not relaxing at all.

Had this dream, being in a supermarket, much like the one we have in this village, but different. And I just could not get out. Never made it to the till, got stuck at the same weird isle again and again, they had carton boxes on display there. Never got the things I needed, and could not make it at the till either. And then there was this all over Christmas atmosphere too.  :zombiefuck:

But when I went to bed and tried to sleep, my thinking started happening in words which means I am not relaxed at all. Then as I was drifting off, the bloody smoke alarm in the hallway beeped very loudly for about 20 seconds which woke me up fully. I worried for ages about it happening again but it didn't.

 Not always, though as a child I did occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and
 stay awake for what seemed to me like a fairly long time.  Tonight I went to bed too early
 and since I don't usually sleep many hours straight through, now I am awake at 1:52 a.m.
 It's possible that my Strattera causes this too, it does seem to make me sleep less deeply.

 In my case it is, though I suppose some people might break it up into two doses.
 I take 120 mg every morning.  I do notice I have lighter sleep, especially if I try to
 take an afternoon nap.  I sometimes feel then as if I never quite fall asleep.  :orly:

Yeah if you have an afternoon nap, that would explain the lighter sleep through the night. Same if you go to bed too early as well. It is why I try and stay up even if I feel like a sleep during the day because I know what will happen that night if I do. What time did you first go to bed last night if you don't mind my asking?

Yes, but I confronted them and they ran. Apparently a neighbour's car was broken into as well. I was moving the big bins around to put against the gate which was forced open last night and the neighbour who lives across from me came out and told me about it and asked if I had heard anything. So I told her about the attempted break in. Apparently her husband heard the person who tried to break in run past their place. They were pretty loud.

Ja, storms can come with good sex (off topic) but also good deep and vivid dreamful sleeps. Feels a bit, dunno.. 'poor/poverish' to crawl back to bed though.

But hey, just saw the pictures Peter posted (about what the storm did in Scotland) and, dunno.. feel somewhat richer again, I suppose.

Yes, like ripping off arms of kids and stuff like that. Very violent.

Do not often have that, but, that night I had.

The night after that, I dreamt of a former relative all of a sudden getting dementia.


Last night I slept lousy.
The wind came from a different angle, and everything that could rattle in the house rattled. That made one cat and two kids restless at various times.
Didn't have more than two hours of sleep.

When it comes to sleeping, I prefer the baby stage.

I had perfect babies. Sleeping all night, from four weeks on, or, if they did not sleep, playing happily, not wanting any attention. That latter pattern is still there in my teen. But, she makes more noise now than back then.

I probably do.  I was tested about 7 or 8 years ago, but didn't have it then.  Don't feel like putting the insurance company through another $9000 test when I know the best remedy is weight loss.

Many of them are on my Facebook page.

Find one person on here who agrees with you that I am overdoing it with my kids pics.  Just one  :hahaha:

Let's compare pics of my kids to pics of your rocks, just yesterday alone.  That would be 1 for me and, what, 6 for you?  Does anybody like looking at your skittle-shits?  I made my kids, you bought your ugly rocks on ebay.

Slept from 10:30 to 6:30.  Woke up still needing a little more sleep, but felt refreshed.  Managed to get some work done.  I'm sleepy enough now that I should sleep well tonight.

Yes, she is ok. She seems to be having a mixed episode where she has lots of energy but is very depressed. Can be a dangerous mix.

We went to her psychologist which helped I think. Ceilidh's episode seems to be lessening now which is good. I am staying with her until Sunday night. My parents are leaving for a holiday on Monday so I have to look after their house but I want to be around for Ceilidh too. I will do my best.

Didn't get a so much as five minutes last night, legs, arm, hand and back were hurting too badly, as well as my eye, and it didn't help that I couldn't breathe. And neither did having none of my meds. Or having nothing to eat; they didn't give me one bite to eat in the hospital. I just finished having spending hours and hours cooking my chilli, finished two big bowls full thankfully, and just finished my beer when I seized. Picked my meds up today though which was such a relief. Did have a dose of poppy tea last night, but all I had left was a few scraps of poppy stray, not enough to do much of anything.

My oxy tolerance dropped, thanks to having none for days, and having only recently got my doc to switch me onto clonidine after years being on the far weaker and shorter acting tizanidine, thats heavily sedating stuff too

How do you make poppy tea? Should the leaves be dried or fresh? Do you add the buds as well, given that you have drained them on the "juice" before?

I think I like you.  8)
Title: Re: How well did you sleep last night?
Post by: Lestat on July 09, 2012, 11:55:49 AM
Fresh smells/tastes fucking hideous. Dried smells/tastes more like bitter hay. Bitterness is to a degree indicative of alkaloid content.

Take pods, to tolerance/taste/need/desire/level of pain, smash 'em up, and, starting with cold water, slowly bring to simmer. Stew for a short time. Do not boil, don't prolong the prep time, opioid alkaloids are present in the plant as meconate salts, so addition of acid isn't necessary, desirable or a good thing.

Leaves? they shouldn't and need not be in there, don't fret about a few scraps of leaf matter that made it over from your crop. What you want, is the capsules, aka 'pods', thats where most of the sought-after alkaloids are hiding, in the form of readily soluble salts with meconic acid, an organic acid unique to the poppy, they will tolerate some heat, but they do not love it, don't overheat, for too long etc.

Handy tools are a potato masher, and a sieve/strainer.

I allow a liter or so of cold water, to be brought to the simmer per serving, for MY tolerance. This is for bog standard pods grown in a british climate with no really special care.

Although the better the climate, the better, likewise, the more you are careful in selecting your strain, and attend to your grow conditions the better. British pods can, and DO produce goods.   And they can be farmed away from home, so to speak, guerrilla grows on waste ground, fertilized away from prying eyes, oh yes it can Bee done.

Legal to grow as a garden ornamental, but once you start lancing pods, slicing with razorblades etc. then its obvious you aren't after a few pretty flowers, and under UK law, yeah, well...I leave that to your discretion and common sense.

The species needed is Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaver_somniferum, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaver_somniferum,) others,

such as P.rhoeas, the red poppy, look similar, and/or produce related akaloids, but no, they aren't what you want. P.bracteatum which is high in thebaine, but contains no  morphia or codeine, and P.argemone which is toxic stuff.

Once you look at a few pics, and see your first pods, you will know what to look for.

The thebaine content of pod tea, although it is toxic, in high concentrations, it modifies the character of pod tea/opium to something quite different to morphine/codeine/H any mixture of the above, its more stimulating, awakening and cerebral, a property quite unique to pod tea. A batch of pods can often be reused a second time for a top up, or a weaker batch of tea. Do mix it with a fucking TON of sugar though, and hold your nose while you drink it, then chase down with a more palatable drink. The taste and in particular smell of fresh pod brews is something that personally, knocks me fucking sick. Like chlorine gas, or bleach, or the smell of freshly mowed grass, just one of those things I can't stand. Does the trick though, and works a treat for pain.

I don't live in the UK, but the law is actually the same. Growing them is totally legal.  :angel:

Seems like a lot of, or even most auties/aspies have really unconventional sleep cycle. I am almost always awake at odd times at the night, I actually normally sleep so little that my old man often whines at me about it.

Although I sleep much better as a side effect of three of my meds, the chlormethiazole mainly, that stuff is a knockout in plastic-melting, minty, metallic diethyl ether stinking form:P A barbiturate binding site agonist for the GABAaR complex, old fashioned, highly dangerous in overdose just like the barbs are, yet for some reason not made almost obsolete as they largely were. I find it far better than benzos, sleep-wise, although it is more usually used for detoxing alcoholics, or for a sedative, surprisingly, in geriatric patients.

Works a treat for suppressing my myoclonus problem though, but it does make me sleepy, and it has some specific interactions with alcohol, in addition to the standard potentiation effect observed on the combination of multiple depressants, grossly increasing the half-life of chlormethiazole (I forget...or is it the other way around), although some recent reading on pubmed suggests it might, in those who continue to drink, but who don't have control issues with alcohol, who drink carefully, that it might well suppress hepatic injury via free-radical oxidative stress, as well as secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha, via inhibition on one of the hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme pathways.

Made for quite interesting bedtime reading.

I never have had any problems with drinking, aside from the odd hangover, and throwing up a few times, when I was younger, not even that in many years.

Being on clonidine and strong opioids generally adds quite a lot to the sedative effects, and I end up sleeping a lot, rather than being awake for days on end, then abruptly switching to sleeping for so long people end up checking I'm alive.

A far more convenient sleep cycle than that though. I don't mind being a bit sleepy, but sleep deprived/out cold for days resulting in waking up half starved having eaten nothing in days, is not pleasant.

:P any idea how much one needs a piss after drinking nothing but 2l bottles of coke for days....Not something one would want to find out.

Glad your feeling better miss K :)

Post by: Lestat on September 10, 2012, 08:18:43 PM
Took a few hours earlier and slept well, but having fallen asleep in a sitting position, in my computer chair. So I woke from my nap/OC+chlormethiazole&clonidine nod with my arse feeling like it had been run through a blender full of rusty nails  and battery acid.

And my hip...christ. It was fucking bellowing in rage at me afterwards for being treated like that, usually its only howling miserably, or if I am lucky, and the pharmacies all serve some J.Collis.Browne's mixture to top off my script (over the counter morphine, not massively strong, but a respectable 20mg per little bottle), or if as I almost always do, buy micron filters so I can safely inject my oxycontin pills  then it might, just might shut the flying fuck up for a few hours.

Still sore though now, after the 40mg by mouth a soon as I scored from the pharmacy, plus 80mg I had hours earlier, and a further 40 on waking up with my arse wishing it was somebody else's (hey, DFG, miss K? burned one? any chance of borrowing one? :D)

*polishes halo*

Having been without my chlormethiazole                                                                                                                                                                                                           rx for 3-4 days, my tolerance against expectations actually dropped quicker than I would ever have a GABA agonist would without my having...prompted...them, neuropharmacologically speaking.

Almost any sleep aids, of the kind that work on the GABA system, require quite a while to reset the downregulation of endogenous inhibitory tone back to pre-medication levels.
Sometimes this can result in PAWS, short for post-acute withdrawal syndrome, where a patient, alcoholic, benzo addict etc. I'm neither, mind 'ye, what happens though, is in response to either benzos (which bind to a seperate allosteric site on the benzodiazepine-sensitive populations of GABAa, stabilizing a conformation that results in the binding of GABA with increased affinity, even if plastic changes mean there is less actual neurotransmitter to go around...and of course there are the GABAb, GABAc receptors that need their helping too.

The body can compensate for additional stimulation by reducing GABA release, and gets used to doing so, although it essentially forgets that 'hey, this walks like homeostasis, talks like homeostasis, smells like it from a distance. But it is nothing of the kind'.

PAWS results from the failure to restore proper inhibitory tone and may last years, and sounds vicious.

W/D from Chlormethiazole, like the barbs is worse, an allosteric positive modulator still,  isssuss  but rather than just making GABA more effective, barb binding site (the same site that docks the antagonist picrotoxin, a nasty inverse agonist convulsant panicogen)

Barbs act on the same reeptor, although thrrough different populations and subtypes (there are a a veritable stack of them, which colocalize in heteropentamers, they have the ability to gate the chloride ion channel directly, which sits in the center of the aforesaid  receptors, to open and pass an inhibitory current of chlorine, reducing neuronal excitability.

The body has no effective way of saying 'hey fuck you,  this is more than I can take'

And ends up going from 'gag', 'puke', 'die'->'collect halo'

Not as well as I should have because of a domestic upset right before bedtime (forgot to do the dishes earlier).  This upset my new schedule which is also upset tonight because I need to put a load of laundry to dry.  Spent too much time doing jigsaw puzzles on the net.  Will take the nighties and do a Pepys.

A lot better than the night before last, probably because I took Phenergan to help. I also took my dexamphetamine doses earlier than I usually do so it would have definitely worn off by the time I got to bed.

Promethazine should help lessen the effects of the whizz , being a weak member of the phenothiazine dopamine antagonists.

Doesn't help me sleep, aggravates my myoclonus too much, not to mention restless legs and akathisia at anything more than a low dose. I can take a little though, up to 50mg is generally ok, I use it for nausea at times.

And of course, there is no better treatment for RLS than opioids. A quick poke in the arm and a good healthy serving of OC and it just disappears. Chelated magnesium, or dextromethorphan at a dose a bit higher than taken for a cough, but below that which would prove a dissociative helps.

Although so do the dissociative anaesthetics. For some reason a lot of people say methoxetamine  keeps them awake, I find IV MXE really relaxing, and end up drifting off to sleep, and always wake up refreshed after . And there is a long lasting afterglow that stays for several days, during which my RLS disappears and I'm really...not sure what the word is, but bright eyed, bushy tailed and ready to take on all that needs doing.

I got no sleep whatsoever last night. I was awake all night, tormented by muscle spasms in my calf and thigh.

Just got back from my docs though, he gave me some valium (diazepam), as a muscle relaxant. I imagine my chlormethiazole probably has some myorelaxant properties, but not sure now much, as its much closer to a barb than a benzo.

Better than usual, since my pain med dosage got upped to 60mg of oxy twice daily, rather than 40. Although since there were a few things to cover at that appointment, my doc forgot to write the rx for two of my meds, a sedating antihistamine, and the shorter acting of the two adrenal blockers I'm on (which is also a bloody powerful myorelaxant.) Part of what keeps me awake at night is cramping, severe cramp which has plagued me for months and never lets up.

Going to make another appointment today to get those. I'd be sleeping even better if it weren't for that; its forcing my calf muscles to contract so tightly that when sat upright I can't even come close to being able to straighten the leg.

Post by: Lestat on November 21, 2012, 02:18:43 AM
Responses seem variable to melatonin. I have SOME response, mainly in that it causes really, really REALLY vivid dreaming (when I've combined it with the gently sedating herb valerian, which itself does that to me, my dreams sometimes become so realistic and intense they were indistinguishable from being awake). It doesn't seem to improve sleep latency however.

All that said, I am, in general, fairly tough to sedate, even without a pre-existing tolerance
to benzos, etc. it generally took fairly heavy doses before sufficient effect became noticeable. This only applies to the sedative/hypnotic properties though, and not to anxiolytic or myorelaxant effects.

I do have a tolerance to benzos etc. now though most likely, as the anticonvulsant drug I take to suppress myoclonic attacks (chlormethiazole, a halogenated vitamin B1 derivative having barbiturate-like sedative-hypnotic effects) will nearly certainly be crosstolerant with other GABAergics. Melatonin was no good in my case at inducing sleep, although sleep quality seemed better, before I started on the chlormethiazole.



On the other end of the scale, my friend uses it to help her Kanner's autie son sleep, and she says that after it he is out within 15-20 minutes.


I figure though that I may as well give melatonin another go sometime. Its nonaddictive, not too expensive, and the lucid dream inducing effect it had on me was quite enjoyable.  I recommend trying the combination of melatonin and valerian extract (the latter available at health food shops...stinks something awful though, make sure to go for capsules not tincture, I couldn't imagine trying to swallow valerian in any form that actually gets to touch one's tastebuds. Ew. Stinks like putrid socks and cat piss. Around 10-15mg melatonin, and a gram or so of valerian extract in capsules did the trick for me. The oneirogenic effect of valerian seems to exhibit a rapid tachyphylaxis however)

I didn't sleep a wink last night, the cramp in my calf, along with absofuckinglute agony thanks to my hip kept me awake all damn night. Ran out of my pain meds also, and chlormethiazole (hypnotic/sedative that I take as an anticonvulsant to prevent or at least reduce my myoclonus problem) had to pick up my refill this morning, I can't sleep at all when I'm due for a refill in the morning, as it begins to wear off in the previous evening, causing the beginnings of withdrawal. Mildly, at least, as mild as any degree of withdrawal from 120mg of oxycodone daily can be, but its still highly unpleasant, and more than enough on its own, without severe muscle cramps, myoclonic twitching/jerks/spasms, knee and hip pain to keep one awake without any hope of rest.

Ended up going into the docs using a crutch to help me bear my weight on the affected side of my body. Forgot to return them several years ago, so I still have a pair of crutches, after I had my (completely failed, leaving me with nerve damage to boot) surgery on my knee)

Since losing my cane in town a couple of months ago, I've been damn glad that I still have them on more than the one occasion. Usually I end up using just the one, like I would a cane, but I end up using both sometimes, usually when the last dose of oxy before a refill is due wears off, as then its just too fucking painful to put my full weight on the leg.

Hell, all I have to do is take a shit, sneeze, or even cough hard, and it sends a vicious, white-hot lance of pain shooting through my hip joint. It fucking kept me awake all night long. All I had to do was cough after smoking my pipe, and it was as unpleasant as having a lit fag put out on me (outside of the context of rough sex, that is :autism:

Stress nightmares are becoming more common.  Either that, or I spend my dreams briefing cases.  Which is exhausting as they are cases I have never read before, so I am clearly writing them with one part of my brain and reading them with the dreaming part.  I wake up completely spent.

You were off of it, because of the eye-surgery?

Yes. First I decided not to take it the day before the general anaesthesia. Then I was worried about how it might interact with the other meds and now I've simply decided to wait until the eye drops are gone, too. :laugh:

Why the pacifier, kitt? a sensory toy? (although I guess when used on infants and young kids then that is more or less the point of them to begin with)

If not, aren't you a bit old for them? Please, don't think me rude, or mocking you, I'm not, but asking an honest question.

Wouldn't be my thing personally though, and lol it would likely get tangled and snagged on my metalwork were I for some reason to want one.

Hope you are feeling better over your GI issues btw.


I didn't sleep at all last night, I was being kept busy online by a pretty...fresh..young mom of two, as well as my usual 'perseveration', as curebie bigot types would call it, in terms of furthering my understanding of the sciences, natural history, (pre/ancient)history, medicine, physiology, genetics, etc.

Hyperfocussing and perseverating away, and liking it that way, until I realized it was something like 8:30-9am. So I slept during the day instead, which is not unusual for me. I have weird sleeping patterns...perhaps not so much that it could reasonably be called  a circadian rhythm.

Perhaps I should invest a few £££ and buy myself some melatonin via ebay, unlike the rest of the modern world, it can't be bought off the shelves in health food shops and/or pharmacies here, being rx only. And its DAMN hard to get a  script for melatonin here in the UK at all.

I could only get it because I showed some research journals about us auties/aspies having lower levels of it. Massive fuckabout just for some melatonin, so ebay it is.


I'm sleepy now, time to turn in. Fucking freezing outside though, might be sleeping in my robe tonight. Uggh...after I've gone out and got some fags.

What's GI?

I am an AB/DL so I have some baby items. I gave lot of them to my son after I had him though and it was for temporary use. The pacifiers I didn't give him and he had his own and he didn't use them much. Then he found mine and started playing with them and putting them in his mouth. I had to hide them. He found my husband's and he took it outside and it's still left out in the yard. I even have adult sized baby clothes but I don't wear them often. Only the pajamas. They look just like regular pajamas except they have snaps in the legs and they are barely noticeable.

GI is short for gastrointestinal, E.g the GI tract-stomach, intestines, rectum etc.

Not sure what an AB/DL is.


S'blood it was COLD out when I went to get my rolling papers, baccy and food/drink/candy. Aside from my combat fatigues, which are nice and warm, I had a shirt on, warm dressing gown/robe over it, leather coat over that, all wrapped in a winter greatcoat, leather gloves, and it was still colder than an icecube made from the waters of the river Styx.

I don't like winter. Snow looks nice, sure, just as long as I'm not out in it, the cold plays hell with my knee and hip joints, and on a particularly frigid day, my big toe on the same side, from where I stepped on a sea urchin whilst in turkey.

I slept awful last night.  I had a 90 minute practice exam at 9:30 pm, so I drank some caffeine at 7 in an attempt to be more alert.  This worked, but left me jittery at bedtime.  I took a double dose of melatonin in an attempt to stave off the stimulant (2mg instead of 1mg) and this did really screwy things to me.  Got really, really tired, but couldn't get over that edge to actual sleep.  I blame the caffeine

Time to get him a signal of how late he is allowed to make sounds and get out of his room. Maybe a little light on a timer, or music on a timer. Awake before that, means quiet play.
You could put a cup of water on his room, and maybe something to eat too, when he is asleep, so he will have something in the mornings.

Hardly slept over the last few days.

Although I got a very refreshing nights sleep last night. And I think I'll be sleeping better in the near future, as my doc just increased my oxy dose, from 60mg BD to 80 BD. My knee and hip have been giving me bloody gyp, and add those awful cramps in my my calf muscle, that keeps me  awake.

Come to think of it, its time I took the first of the new OC 80s I got from my doc just a bit ago and see how much of an improvement over the 60s it will turn out getter 80s will be.

I couldn't sleep at all.

Slept during daytime yesterday though so I wouldn't be too sleep deprived and miserable.


Couldn't sleep, for knee, hip and lower back pain. And I had no meds, had to pick up a refill earlier today. Soon as I got home, a nice fat shot of oxy, some clonidine, and a couple of sleeping pills too.

That let me take a nice refreshing nap. Then my friend breeze came online to to talk with, so I awoke. She just went to work though, so time for a little more oxy,then curl up in bed, and finish the pair of crunchy  peanut butter sandwiches I made myself :)

I slept pretty well, even though I STILL haven't been to my actual bed.

I am still getting used to some increases in a couple of my meds,from oxycontin 40+20 twice daily, to the 80mg tablets, again taken BD, plus my doc increased my dose of tizanidine,a (nor)adrenergic release inhibitor, and powerful myorelaxant, which I take to treat the otherwise permanent, unshakable cramping in my left calf, its heavily sedating though, and even at the 4mg dose twice a day, its enough to knock me out cold on top of the oxy, or if I have had a few beers etc.

In addition to that, my doc gave me a more frequent daily dosing of chlorphenamine, the sedating antihistamine that I use to ward off the induced histamine release thanks to the oxy.

So I've been sleeping great, but I keep nodding off in my chair, still sat at my computer.

Just  woke up in fact, and no less, theres an unused shot of oxy and an almost full 8-pack of ice cold  beer left :)

Let's see.

Waking up because I'm too hot.
Waking up for random noises.
Waking up again because I'm hot and checking to see if the air is really on or if it died.
Waking up for more random noises and deciding I might as well go pee.
Waking up because I'm not comfy.
Waking up because my legs have went numb from a chubby cat sleeping on them.

Average. :yawn:

Waking up a few times, as usual. (Cat, lights, noise, kid tucking in with me, middle of the night, things like that)
Most of all, way too short though, and that was all my own doing.

Alright I guess. Took quite a battle to get to, and to remain asleep, kept waking up, until in the end I necked a box of thirty dihydrocodeine tabs, hit a bedtime bong or two and had just finished having several bowls of that lovely elderflower and lime cider sorbet that I've become a card-carrying convert to.

In fact I'm just about to go and raid the freezer again and grab a few more.

Bah...buggering blue monkeyfuck, just checked the freezer and down to my last two pouches of the elderflower and lime ones, but still got a few more raspberry vodka ones, going to finish off the two of the former, and have one of the others.

Like shit, I had to go to hospital briefly overnight to get an animal bite looked at, and they made a right hash of my meds, barely got a couple of hours sleep, and then started feeling really nauseated and throwing up too which was no fun.

Soon as I got home at about 6pm today, being ablet to go grab a bong was such a relief, for its antinauseant properties.
One of the nurses was  kind enough to make sure the docs sent me off with a few oxycontin, which I've not yet used any of, and several high-dose morphine caps, which I certainly have, did 4 100mg morphine sulfate caps when I got back in one shot, made sure I got a proper nights sleep :)


Which i have, between lazing about in bed, making up for the nil by mouth by filling my face with treats and smoking greens, playing assassin's creed :D

Actually slept quite well for almost four hours. Large sleep for me.

I was exhausted from rending that felled maple into short logs and binding clumps of sticks for kindling.

When I can no longer saw the big limbs, I get my trimmers and make four foot long clumps of the smaller twigs.

I can sit to bundle kindling.

Slept in (late) and woke up a little after 1 o'clock this afternoon. Okay, I've been awake a couple of times during the night but in the end all is well that ends well. I mean, I do feel refreshed (mood's good).

When you look at sleeping pattern studies, most people do wake up several times a night. For some this is so short, that they do not even notice. For others it is clearer. The older you get, the more aware and awake you get in those moments of waking. (you used as generalising. :P).

With spazzes sleeping patterns are often weird on top of that.

I do rarely go out of my bed to do anything more active than to visit the bathroom, feed cats or eat or drink something myself. I watch the clock, tell myself how nice it is that the alarm will not wake me in another few hours, and I go back to bed.

Cats are lovely to have sleeping against you when it is cold. They are like little furry hot water bottles.

The cat business is mainly Liam in the middle of the night scratching at my clothes basket. I get up to see what he wants and usually it's dry food. Or he wants me to follow him aimlessly around the house which is very annoying.

Molly usually wants to be let out at about 6am. After that she sits and stares at me while I sleep because she wants her dry food. I feed her at about 7:30am.

Absolutely lousy.

Fever has broken, but somehow my body has taken in all the sounds and unplanned intrusions. Bit stressed out.
Housing company is working on the houses. We got a strict planning in a letter, but the planning is impossible (it was weird to read, so yes, impossible does make sense). So now the workmen improvise. Never know what it is going to be. According to the original plan, my block would be worked on next week, one week only. Now they have been working on several blocks at the same time, with various things. Mine is the misfortune to have an aggregate in front of the house. Aggregate catering two blocks. I fear it is here to stay for a little longer. They also got new instructions on what to work on. Yesterday I found them pneumatically hammering between the bricks of my shed. Big surprise again. So I'm living in an improvisation renovation site. Expecting a cameraman turning up with a program maker yelling "surprise" every moment. :P
I did put on protective headgear because of the sound. But the source is so close, my body has become all ears.

On a positive note, no fresh painting fumes today (or should I say, not yet).

It does make make a big difference. Took some time to realise it had chanced for the better for me ( bar last night).

I realised the week before that since a few months I'm happily awake somewhere around 6:30, earlier than I have to. I shake up my bedding before the alarm tells me to get up. Yup, I actually make my bed these days. After that I wash and dress.

Don't know what changed it, but change it did. Have had a time like that before in my live. Was a good time. So positive thing for me.

Find it more easy to get myself to bed too. Not everyday of the week. But way better than the years before.

I do wake a few times every night. I may check the time. Smile at how many hours I still have left, turn over and sleep again.

To be honest I don't know other than I made a concerted effort. ITs going to sound silly but bedtime was a time of agitation and something I would always put off. A time to be on your guard and alert to how things are before you drift off. Disconcerting somehow and it became something that I would present countless last things to do before I went to sleep.

It was very difficult. My fear of going to bed and going to sleep was completely rational and reasonable....when I was a child. It was registering that the problem was and the anxieties were habit and not grounded in existing fears. Then it was going to bed at 10:00pm rain, hail or shine. Embarrassed to say it took me months to break the habit because I would be in bed awake and bored stupid until 2am.  Then a few nights dropping off earlier. Eventually, I was able to drift off. Over the years I tried numerous things but it was not until I came to understand what was really going on for me to do anything about it.

I didn't. Was busy working some glass, and building an oxypropane torch (a blowtorch, hacked to an oxygen feed, powered by normal butane/propane mix torch canisters, but glass tubes connected to the air intake, and to a bottle containing potassium permanganate, plus a second hose, through which a tube goes, connected to a hose length, into which a 150ml glass syringe is fed, containing hydrogen peroxide.

Works by lighting the torch, then feeding in peroxide, which decomposes to water vapor and oxygen plus potassium-manganese salts. The O2 is then fed into the air intake of the torch, making it easy as piss to just inject peroxide when the torch is lit, and have a jet of oxy-propane flame come out. Burns normally with the fuel canisters I use at 1600'C, this modification not sure, but it will cut through borosilicate glass or turn it into a blob.

I think my back problems are from a) gaining all the weight I lost after the fire and b) being inactive.  I looked up some exercises for lower back pain and they seem sensible.  I rejoined the health insurance's gym/activity program again.  I felt a lot better riding a bike 3 or 4 times a week and doing some stretching exercises on my own there. Besides being less than 2 miles away, it is open 24 hours.  But I will probably be limited to the hours The PR is at Magnolia (9 to 3).

My back had been screaming bloody murder until last night. I hadn't slept for days, being up late at night through until maybe napping for  a few hours in the late afternoon. Last night I even managed to sleep whilst on amphetamine, I was so tired. Back was aching so badly, from being at the lab bench so long I couldn't stand for more than a few minutes at a time, hunched over with the back spasm. I did soldier on through the pain in pursuit of my goal, which has been rewarded richly with what must be over an oz of the product I sought collecting in the filter paper after vacuum distillation off of some alcohol, freeze precipitating the product and sucking clean of reaction mixture using vacuum filtration. Now to either reduce directly, or to an intermediate ketimine (nothing to with the drug ketamine, I mean, the imine formed from a ketone as opposed to an aldimine, that from an aldehyde) and reductive treatment with borohydride to gain the sought amine(s) from the ketone if I want to go to a secondary amine, or via reduction of the ketoxime to the amine.

Could easily go back to sleep now, after a couple of lines of oxycodone and the anticonvulsant I take, which is more usually used as a sleeping pill or alcohol detox drug here (chlormethiazole, its not actually licensed here for seizures but I love it for prevention and stopping one in its tracks, since unlike any other GABAa positive allosteric modulator,  benzos etc. I have taken it for years at twice a day and then for a fair while now at 3x daily, without any physical dependency, which I could never do with benzos, barbiturates etc. Indeed I am shocked by its lack of tolerance produced. Better take it now actually though since every time I take a nap, seizure threatens and just narrowly avoided one by forcing myself awake (I get atonic seizures, turning to myoclonic ones almost always at times when going to sleep or waking, rarely ever whilst fully awake) So off I go to pop one or two caps of that now, plus more oxy or/and some morphia.


How is her lovely ladyship QV? I hope she hasn't suffered anything from lack of her meds those days you took them accidentally. Do send her my love and regards. I'm pleased as punch for her that shes been accepted there:)

Last night I slept wonderfully, only woken since my old man got up early as hell to go fishing. at about 5 am-half 5, whilst I had JUST got up and started my vacuum distillation and vac filtration, baptizing my 2.5 liter vacuum filtration flask for the first time. Always gives me the warm fuzzies using new glassware for the first time. Seeing the pressure go right down on the manometer and the solvent begin vigorously boiling under vacuum was good and satisfying, as my compound was stripped of solvent. Recrystallizing it by freezing it out now...mmmmmm satisfying seeing it crystallize nice color, looks like I cooked it just right in the microwave.

Why not see if her ladyship wishes to come with you to work out QV?

A few things just colliding threw me off kilter. 

I had a lot of back and leg pain yesterday (visualize me walking bent over at the waist and stumbling around.)  I took some pain meds and a sleeping pill, went to bed early and slept like a lamb.  Feeling tons and tons better today.  And I managed to NOT take The PR's pills by mistake last night!

  Back and leg pain suck!  I'm glad the meds helped. :hug:

  Better than usual, even without muscle relaxers.  After another day of limping at work, I seem to have
   "fixed" my leg.  My knee popped at one point, and maybe that needed to happen?  I also perfected my
   adaptive walk, leaning my weight on the right leg and keeping the left perfectly straight.  That seemed to
   exercise some muscles in the left leg so that the knee pain was replaced by tolerable muscle cramps.
   Anyway, I was feeling much better by the end of the day, and whatever was wrong seems fixed.  :orly:

So-so, had a fair bit of trouble getting to sleep. Lots of stuff aching, ended up taking some weak painkiller (dihydrocodeine and some paracetamol) and a sleeping pill, didn't have all that much time to sleep either since most of the night was spent tinkering.

Glad I had that one last sleeping pill left though, got a refill today, I only use them a few days a week at most, not something to get a dependency on, since the withdrawals are, unlike for example, opioid withdrawals, potentially fatal if severe, and by all accounts I've ever read, people who have experienced both, say they would take cold turkey hardcore heroin W/D over the same with benzos any day many times over. But at times, they really are a blessing when I'm restless and just can't get to sleep, or end up at best drifting into a half-awake really shallow sleep that is more annoying than it is restorative.

Last night was going to be one of those nights, but thankfully a few hundred mg dihydrocodeine, a little paracetamol and 5mg nitrazepam (which by all accounts is probably one of the better benzos out there for knocking someone senseless, its the non-fluorinated version of flunitrazepam, aka roofies/rohypnol, lasts a good long time and packs quite the punch. I'm  not all that easy to knock out with most sedatives, but nitrazepam is one of the few benzos I've tried, aside from loprazolam, nifoxipam and flubromazolam that actually will put me out for the count reasonably reliably, and with the anti-seizure med I take, chlormethiazole also being a really heavyweight sedative-hypnotic (actually its licensed use here, that and treating alcoholism withdrawal in in-patient settings, not indicated as an anticonvulsant in the UK, but for whatever reason, its the one I got on, and I like it, works well, works extremely quickly to stop a seizure if its starting and I can get some down my neck before I'm incapacitated and best of all, I've taken it for a few years now without any physical dependency (tested by stopping it for a time, or not being able to find it, without any withdrawal) which I'd never have been able to had I been on valium or its like for the same purpose. One GP I saw did question it, although not the one who scripted it me in the first place, but I just told them the above, and made the point 'why try to fix what isn't broken in the first place' and made it clear that I wasn't prepared to fuck about getting on something that almost certainly would produce nasty ass withdrawals rather than remaining stable and effective for as long as this has. Shut the bugger up quickly enough, even for the argumentative, pretty obnoxious old bitch that particular doctor is (seriously, she has the compassion and bedside manner of adolf hitler, only less warm and fuzzy.) but even she couldn't really fault the logic there.

Only got to sleep early in the morning though,  spent most of the night attending a catalytic hydrogenation instead.

Another late, late, late night. But because I had voluntarily stayed up awake in order to tye up some loose ends and start some new threads in the intriguing web that has become of the new hydrogenation catalytic system I've been playing with. Its looking pretty promising, both for what I'm currently testing, and for plenty other stuff I would love to test besides. Oxime reduction next methinks, maybe reductive cyclizations for nitrogen heterocycle synthesis, synthesis of aniline is another that I'd like to give a try, reduction of nitrobenzene ought to furnish aniline, and given its close similarity in some respects to pyridine, its something I'd find very useful, for things like trapping hydrogen halides during alkylations and acylations with alkyl and acyl halides repectively, formation of ethers and such, as such procedures require the presence of a base to proceed properly, which gets protonated by the hydrogen halide which comes off as  the leaving group in such reactions. I've used things like potassium carbonate in some instances, but an amine base like aniline, pyridine, or para-DMAP would be much better, far more soluble in organic solvents and far more available for serving as an acid-sucker to form anilinium/pyridinium salts and the like. Did end up curling up on a comfy leather couch and having a nice satisfying nap.

And was just half asleep until now when the mail came with some long anticipated goodies for me, that jerked me right out of sleep alright.

I think I encountered a spirit. I saw a few sparks and one squiggling down. Not the same as a visual migraine. I also felt something cool on the side of my face and my hand. I think it was purposely trying to be subtle, but I asked it to stop the visual stuff cos it scared me.

Meaning I slept OK, not great. Spiritual stuff when it happens, does it in the evenings. I wish it would do it during the day instead.

Yeah I can't go back to bed or else I will wake up the boyfriend and the pups. So I'm on the couch downstairs letting them sleep. I intended to go back to sleep down here if I could but I'm wide awake. I'd like to start packing but I suspect the rest of the house won't like my noise.

d
The same that you're currently taking. Could it be a dosing issue? Maybe requiring an increase or have you never seen an improvement on it? He's been on it for 10 years and we've been able to decrease over the years so he's down to just 0.5mL once a day.

I have only been taking it for a week. 2mgs before bed. I was taking haloperidol before which worked but was blocking the positive effects of dexamphetamine (for ADHD). I would like to try Abilify (aripiprazole) but I can't afford it. My friend said what about clonidine so I think I will ask the psych next week when I phone him.

Maybe the dosage is too high for you.

Kid had sideffects on 0,5 mg already. (Even on 0,25 mg).
Abilify works more activating than risperidone and can increase restlessness. Might be a horror if you want it for ticks. But for some it works well.

Yeah, could be too high. But I don't know if a higher or lower dose would help stop the tics.

I didn't realise before that 5mg of haloperidol every night was a pretty high dose. The pharmacist told me.

2 weeks isn't a lot of time to figure out if it works or not. I would jot down your concerns about what you're one, what you're considering and see what he/she says. That way you're making an informed decision. Figuring out meds can be really frustrating.

I've been sleeping quite okay the last couple of weeks. Not always getting up as fit as I like to, sometimes neck hurts/tinnitus on high or sometimes legs seem to not had a proper rest during the night but it's not that bad as of late.

Been quite an awful 'sleeper' since my puberty days.. more or less so (I confess). Well, at times, for sure..

Fireworks going off plagued one of the dogs who leaped into my bed out of fear and promptly sat ON MY HEAD. I was sound asleep so it scared the heck out of me. Pushed her off my head, got her lay down stretched out beside me and she had the vibrate/panting feature turned up on high. So threw an arm over her and let the bed shake. Not much could be done until the fireworks stopped and then she jumped off and went to lay on the floor again.

Yeah clonidine I reccomend too my dear. I take it daily. And it isn't an antipsychotic/neuroleptic which really aren't nice generally. And can produce profound and indeed sometimes permanent side effects of a truly terrible nature. ANY of the APs however, are superior to haloperidol, and perhaps the other butyrophenone antipsychotics, of which haldol is one, I have not calculated the potential for each to dock with monoamine oxidases and be metabolized intracellularly into a charged, lethally cytotoxic metabolite like HPP/HPP+ (it enters the cell uncharged as HPP, the haldol metabolite, which IS formed, this as known a fact and indisputable as is the fact that morphia comes from the opium poppy and that strychnine is a convulsant poison in excess dose. Simple, researched, known, scientific fact. It DOES produce this neurotoxin, and the damage is chronic and cumulative, this stuff causes brain damage and whilst tranquilizing a raging out of control frank psychotic during a schizophrenic violent episode is one thing, dosing anybody daily with this AP cannot be justified. It LITERALLY shrinks brain matter, erodes it, and specifically targets the nigrostriatal tract, a part of the brain composed of the striatum, involved in pleasure, reward, incentive salience and task-orientation, goal seeking capacity. And the substantia nigra, which, like the striatum is a part of the brain LOADED with DAT (dopamine transporter) with which the cells can take up the uncharged HPP and MAO-b the neurological isoform of monoamine oxidase (primarily selective for dopamine, as opposed to monoamine oxidase-a which is primarily selective for noradrenaline/adrenaline and for serotonin, the MAOIs used as antidepressants, with the exception primarily of selegiline are MAO-A inhibitors (the PNS isoform), moclobemide being a reversible (I.e competitive) MAO inhibitor, at least I think its competitive, It may work via an allosteric site, can't remember but if you wish me to find out  just say so and it will take me but moments to determine its binding profile with monoamine oxidase type A. Selegiline is a MAO-b inhibitor save for at high doses when it produces a crossover into being a dual inhibitor of MAO-b and MAO-a and is the main common MAO-b inhibitor. Clinical MAOIs are almost all of the MAO-a inhibitor type though)

And ANY alternative to haloperidol is a good and truly advisable thing, this stuff is a NEUROTOXIN of a nasty ass nature. The uncharged form is uptaken via dopamine transporters (DAT) into the cytoplasm, metabolised to quaternary cationionic form, HPP+, which carries an electrical charge, this renders it trapped within the cell where it then goes on to produce reactive oxidant species which destroy the cells, particularly those of the substantia nigra. This is the region of the brain containing that population of dopaminergic neurons which controls voluntary movement, and with its destructive effects makes those taking it longterm more susceptible to a kind of chemically induced parkison's disease (permanent in nature rather than transient and can be severe), a modality of toxicity first observed in a particularly nasty incident, the 'case of the frozen addicts'

In this, some clandestine chemists took to producing a reverse ester derivative of one of the prodine family opioids (related to pethidine, aka meperidine, as well as things like ketobemidone and the other bemidones), only they during a run, tried to shortcut an acylation step, needing to dose their opioid, a bf and gf, and this involved increasing the temperature by removing cooling at the critical acylation step resulting in a loss of a molecule of propionic anhydride by dehydration-elimination producing a methylphenyltetrahydropyridine, or MPTP for short. This is metabolised to the corresponding methylphenyltetrahydropyridinium cation once uptaken by DAT and acted upon intracellularly by MAO-b producing the pyridinium cation, and locking it in cells for oxidant species to be generated, killing the cell. This produced a rapid and incredibly severe parkinsonian toxicity which left the two effectively locked into their own bodies, crippled for life, after the standard L-DOPA/carbidopa (or other DOPA decarboxylase peripheral inhibitor (without one of the latter, L-DOPA gets metabolized to dopamine before it crosses the blood-brain barrier and so just gets chewed up and shat out by monoamine oxidases quick as you can say 'the renster gives me the warm fuzzlies' so cannot do its job.

It left them locked in, with massively severe, advanced parkinson's disease. They were (dubiously) lucky to be discovered and not to have stayed there, locked in, until they starved to death.

Haldols metabolite HPP is obviously introduced to the body in smaller quantities since it as a metabolite is dose-dependent in the quantity produced in-vivo, more cannot be produced than what exists to produce it FROM, of course. But damage is done, slowly over time and haloperidol, IMO should long, long have been tossed onto the vast scrapheap of failed and recalled medicines for this reason. You take this stuff into your old age and it'll fuck you in the ass via your eyesockets with a bifurcated dog knob on a red hot stick. It eats brains. And yours is a lovely, tasty brain that should be kept in one piece.

For an activating AP (via different reasons than most), have you tried amisulpiride or sulpiride? it has weak effects on the GHB receptor, producing at low doses, activating effects separate from its antidopaminergic D2 type antagonism (common to all APs). I think it may well help with depression too. These effects are unique to amisulpiride and sulpiride, other APs do not possess this GHBr affinity.

But any of them are less noxious than haloperidol. This stuff ain't a medicine, its a poison. A cumulative, nasty ass kind of poison too. Its an archaic, NOTORIOUSLY side-effect-laden, even amongst its class, member of the APs that never should have remained on the market, stocks should have been shipped to the third world medical systems until they disappeared, or else forced down the throat of politiciansf;sf,am pcj         j                  .

All the APs can have foul side effects but the rest at least do not have this chronic, cumulative specific mode of cytotoxicity, makes haldol one nasty, posonous, outmoded,noxious heap of shite.

Very nicely, although it took me a long time to actually GO to sleep, once I did, I actually fell asleep nice and deeply. Probably because I had stayed up very late, until 4-5am maybe later in order to work upon, well, upon what I DO.

Lol I actually fell asleep, drifting off to the constant quiet trickling noise in the background of the water pump recirculating coolant through one of my condensers and back into the main reservoir tank, and ended up nodding off and accidentally spilling the (non-precious and thankfully non-corrosive) contents of a test tube down my back, thankfully just a dilute sodium bisulfite/alcohol/water solution with a few drops of a test compound placed in it. Woke up and thought 'why the fuck is my back and my shirt wet????' then saw the test tube, near empty with just a quarter ml or less of what was a full tube, I hadn't even planned to fall asleep, I'd just sat down on the couch, slouched with my legs over the arm, watching a horror movie, and must have dropped off to sleep when it finished :P

I'm just glad that I didn't fall asleep whilst holding a test tube of say, caustic alkali of some sort, or concentrated acid/s/other corrosive substances. Woke up with my blast shield still clamped onto my head, visor down over my face (I always wear a blast shield, doesn't mean there is any blasting going on, its basically sort of like a welding mask, with a flip-up/down visor that can be locked into position, and goes right the way from covering the front of the head to about chest level, with a metal-lined polycarbonate shield, which serves to stop anything that might come rocketing my way of a corrosive/toxic/both nature, or something pyrophoric in flammable solvent that decided to volcano at my face, as well as things like acid spatters, corrosive mists and the like, and its definitely been a worthwhile purchase, that I've not regretted for a moment, probably saved my face a couple of times too)

Better to have it there and never need it, than need it and never have it, no?

Aw :(

For on-off use now and then, valerian might be useful, as well as chamomile oil added to a bath, jasmine is another good one for relaxing. The valerian is by mouth, and has some genuine sedative effects, its mild, but still effective in a real manner, not just some new age bollocks. Has some compounds in it that bind GABAa receptors, at the loreclezole allosteric binding site, a different site, but similar properties to benzodiazepine sedatives like valium, although milder. Be aware though it has some mighty peculiar effects on dreaming, namely it makes me dream like crazy. It feels like being on a bloody rollercoaster ride it can be that intense sometimes, although a tolerance to this effect arises so fast it can't be used in a dream-manipulating manner for more than maybe two doses spread over 2 nights in a row, but it also declines quickly too (tachyphylaxis), overuse big time could be addictive physically but its not really the sort of plant that lends itself to such use at all by its nature. Don't be put off by the smell either. It smells rank, and get the high-dose extract pills. Liquids are disgusting and they stink something awful. It doesn't mean you have a bad batch, it just smells nasty.

It does work if your restless though, to help you get a proper nights sleep. Although do expect VERY vivid dreams, especially if using it just once in a while. Weird stuff in that respect. Really weird, but in a good way. Available online, or from health food shops (they always dramatically understate an effective dose btw) and its very safe physically.  Also, its usually better product if its just valerian rather than some cocktail of small amounts of several different herbs, something like 200-400mg extract, rather than powdered root, in capsule or tablet form is best, a few of those and you should get a good nights rest and wake up a purring kitty the next day:)

The skullcap should help. Its likely to be far more effective when smoked than when made into an infusion. Or perhaps an alcoholic extraction to yield a concentrate (IIRC concentrates are available online, I think) might help it be more available. The active components in skullcaps are resinoid type things, oily, nonpolar and poorly soluble in water to the best of my knowledge. Similar in that respect to cannabis preparations (although teas have been made out of indian hemp preparations, THC is a waxy, noncrystalline, fat-soluble compound, like the actives in skullcap. IIRC baikal skullcap is one of the better ones, and they may well share a common mode of action with THC. 'indian warrior' is the common name for what, as far as my understanding of the pharmacology of the genus goes, is the most potent. If you don't want to smoke it, then you would likely have better luck by far with it if extracted into melted butter and this used to make some sort of bakery, as with hash cakes, etc. because with a tea I should imagine most of the active constituents remain in the plant material and are poorly extracted by the hot water. I can do more research for you miss K if you wish it of me. (don't think of it as onerous, I would be glad to)

Thank you.

I did sleep a lot better. I do wake a few times every night, but it's in my rhythm that I wake then. Yesterday I got woken while deep asleep. Usually I wake,I lie awake for a while doing nothing and then go back to sleep. Unless it is too late to get a fair bit of sleep, then I'll either just lie down for a bit, or I get up. Because getting woken in the middle of deeply sleeping is too hard for my liking.

I didn't. I was in absolute howling agony, with stomach pain, and to the extent that I was vomiting bile every few minutes. Rolling over (although horrendously painful) gave relief, from the change of position for minutes, but only minutes. Tried to get up, several times and collapsed. Thought at first, early in the morning that I'd knocked myself out. Old man told me I hadn't, just got up, and ended up flat on my arse.

To make it twice worse, couldn't hold down an antiemetic pill (or variety of them), and couldn't go for water all night to make up a solution and in extremis, stick it where the sun don''t shine. So painful...god it felt like I'd been stabbed or shot in the stomach.

And thricefold worse, bank holiday today, and it took several hours longer than usual to be able to get my med refills. Ended up digging up some adrenal blocking agents from down the back of the sofa, liquidizing them after crushing the pills with pliers, and sticking them up the tradesman's entrance, since I couldn't swallow. Tried, and the pills came up within 2-3 seconds. Used fresh ones in solution to make my blood pressure bottom out so low it knocked me out stone cold, and stayed lying down, unconscious on the sofa until the time had elapsed, whilst my old man had gone to pick up my meds. Fucking relief that was, even though I did have to brazenly snort a load of oxy and have my old man bring me water, and a syringe, and again, openly slam an entire week worth of 10mg (couldn't find my high dose ones and use less) morphine capsules, filtered of course, into a muscle. Was too shaky and fucked over to find a vein, just had to fill it and stab myself as if with a dagger. Not comfortable, I hate IM shots of anything, they are painful, and take time to deliver especially with a 5ml volume of H2O.  Slow, painful, but afterwards, oh, my, fucking, god damn.

On antibiotics, since I think it is due to an infection, very likely so. But the pain meds helped so much, especially after due to the bank holiday causing delay in the opening of the pharmacy, the agony just faded away to be replaced by a lovely warm glow, especially since I'd made it a really pretty  strong shot , about maybe 20x the beginning injected dose for morphine alone for somebody nontolerant to opiates entirely. Maybe more. That was SUCH a relief. Literally, like being rained on from heaven itself by god's own personal supply of his own personally grown, harvested and processed opium poppies, taken by his personal honor guard of archangels to the personal lab of christ himself with uriel, michael, raphael et al. PERSONALLY performing the perfect propionyl esterification and delivered in person on a gold platter.

Wow...the way that turned round the night...from in the foetal position, stomach so fucked up to being able to breathe again, that was some relief. And being IM'ed my body hadn't the ability to reject it, nor for it to dispose of the oxy up the nose. Just..fucking golden. 2 minutes later, about as long as it took to be absorbed a fair bit, the pain just vanished, could keep down my antibiotics, and even eat a few nutri-grain bars and downed first a cup full, then another, then finally a liter jug full of elderflower cordial.

Took me ages to get any rest at all, not until after picking up my anti-nausea/vomiting meds, a lot of strong painkillers required along with heavy-duty adrenal blockade and sedation before I could even go to the bog, despite being desparate to the point of it hurting.  I tried, and next thing I know my old man was there standing over me, telling me 'no, you collapsed' after I asked 'how long was I out.'

Finally managed to get to the bog though and have a piss this morning. Still. Bleehhrgh what a fucking day. Pain, desparate for the bog, and at the same time dehydrated as fuck due to the whole foetal position bile-vomiting thing last night-this morning.

Title: Re: How well did you sleep last night?
Post by: Lestat on August 31, 2017, 12:00:42 AM
Yeah its been bad, really bad. I had to go to a hospital to get put under general anaesthesia and an endoscopy done (a camera into the stomach). At the time, I was afraid that cancer could be a possibility at worst. No specific reason to suspect it, just the severity of the problems. I have issues with eating now, not physically much, its rather, that I no longer can feel hunger, except when it gets to a truly ravening extent. I often go for days without eating because I just can't feel that I should eat. And trying to eat can become truly disgusting, like trying to stuff your mouth with paper and dry sawdust.

I didn't get told they'd found anything though although I've been meaning to at my next dr appt, go and check to follow up myself. This is a list of the meds I'm on JUST for my stomach:

Cimetidine (originally on ranitidine, both are histamine receptor antagonists of the gastric type receptor, cimetidine also helps, via some liver enzyme inhibition effects to prolong and intensify the action of the morphine and oxycodone I take for my joint pain and bursitis, since it blocks metabolic degradation of the drug)

Buscopan (hyoscine/scopolamine [same drug, two different names, hyoscine is the more modern name] as the butylbromide quaternary ammonium salt, so it cannot pass the blood-brain barrier to cause negative effects from the antimuscarinic properties it has, such as memory impairment/confusion].

Transdermal hyoscine/scopolamine patches, little round disks that stick to the skin and slowly release a centrally penetrant version, only in lower doses, the pills are 10mg each whilst the patches contain about 1.5mg total, delivered over a day or maybe a bit longer)

Ondansetron, serotonin 5HT3 receptor antagonist, extremely powerful antinauseant/antiemetic, usually reserved only for cancer patients, and for the ones who are taking really sickening chemo meds like platinum-based chemo, mustard gas derivatives (not joking, they use mustard 'gas' in chemo, specifically the nitrogen mustards, various medical derivatives, and one of the actual battlefield agents, IIRC HN1 type nitrogen mustard) and other really gut-busting chemo drugs. Its EXTREMELY expensive, £100 to the NHS for about 10 pills, maybe more, so was difficult to get a script for it, but the stomach problems have landed me in hospital before, twice, maybe three times now over the past year or year and a bit) and finally managed to badger my doctor, a sympathetic one, enough to get a prescription, for 2 pills anything up to 4x a day of ondansetron. It takes a little time to work, and if in an emergency, it needs liquidizing if its not possible to swallow, and using a measuring syringe, squirting where the sun never shines, or wouldn't, if it didn't shine outa my ass because I'm such an inherently awesome autie example of true and absolute perfection :P:autism::P

Cyclizine, a sedating older antihistamine thats also an extremely effective antiemetic. Fast acting, especially if delivered the unpleasant way, that works so quickly it can literally reverse mid-puke sometimes, and either allow me to swallow other meds, or at least stop me being stuck in the foetal position, sweating bullets, pale, shaky and in pain; vomiting bile and blood-streaked foamy crap.

And gaviscon. Lots, and lots, and lots of gaviscon. I've got something like 30 bottles or something crazy like that here in the house, the big dispensary-sized versions too. Cost about £8-something over the counter, but I get them free on rx. The big, amber glass bottles are useful too for storing all manner of chemical things when they are empty, washed clean, and then rinsed out with a little methanol or isopropyl alcohol to dry them and if needs be (such as for culture media) sterilize them.

Thats all the anti-sickness/stomach meds I can think of, unless you count movicol, a shit-softener, but thats different really, because I take pain meds those can easily cause constipation with chronic use, the movicol is just a bio-safe lubricant polymer based suspension to be added to water and swallowed that prevents that happening and stops me having to drop something that feels like giving birth to a rabid racoon with its fur braided with rusty razorblades and a tail lined with shark teeth:P

I have taken Buscopan a few times due to IBS cramping. Nothing really happened. So I'm not on any regular meds for that.

I do hope you ask the doctor what the results were because going through an endoscopy for nothing is no good!

Was up until about 9am last night, and eventually ended up taking a sleeping tablet, which, along with my antiseizure meds, itself a strong sedative and the two together ended up putting me out like a light, just sprawled out on the sofa after draping a coat over my head to keep the light out, eating a liquorice boiled sweet hard candy, called 'sula', sugar free candies, grabbed quite a few boxes of them after they were on sale at the pharmacy I pick my meds up from. Might be sugar free (sweetened with one of the polyol 'sugar alcohols' instead of real sugar), but they still actually taste pretty good.

Think I'll sleep fairly well tonight, too. Had a shot of morphine, a few oxy plus my antiseizure med (chlormethiazole), might take another sleeping pill tonight too, after this movie finishes, if there is nothing good on the horror channel after.

It does weird stuff to people, ambien. God knows, it has the potential for unleashing havoc.
Weirder still, for a sedative-hypnotic, its been used to (temporarily) rouse patients from persistent vegetative states.

I got nary a wink of sleep last night, bar a couple of hours after being awake for several days without rest, got to me, and I drank myself into a brief stupor, whilst I smoked a cigar and had a booze-fuelled cat-nap, just to keep me at functional levels of sleep for...well just tolerating existence really, I was that sleep deprived that 2 liters of lamb's navy rum and prince consort dark rum had to go down the hatch, with only a shot left in the prince consort and the liter bottle of Lamb's drank dry.

Now, meds in me, I'll definitely pop a sleeping pill later after taking and having all my meds kick in, its been too long since I rested at all, not feeling well for three days, maybe four, no sleep. And no sleep a crotchety Lestat Rett makes.

and i might have screwed myself up with a late evening cup of jasmine tea- but, in my defense, the day before i had had an evening cup and passed right out into a nice satisfying deep, 8hour sleep. not so last night, go figure.

Slept from just past 8am to nearly 24:00 hours. Brief wakeup to watch star trek and down some cold beer, top up pain meds. Those sleeping pills were a godsend. I get them repeated every week for some reason, although I know to use them sparingly to not develop a tolerance or physical dependence, but for some days, there is nothing for it, and today, was one of those days.

Dropped a pair of 5mg moggies, plus about 6 chlormethiazole capsules after a hefty IM dose of morphine, near a half gram (I have...insurance...so was free to use a high dose of that level, a couple of 420mg shots, dealt with that sleep debt alright...didn't expect to sleep in THAT long though. All day, bar star trek coming on TV.

Didn't sleep at all, spent all night really searing overheated. Had the back bay windows open but still, was absolutely cooking, felt like  a baby in a microwave it was that awfully over-hot.

Although assisted by two crates of cold, cold beer, managed to find some of my adrenolytic medication, and a big carrier bag fulls of cans of black grape soda. ONLY got a few hours shallow  and not too restorative cat-napping yesterday during last sunday, but got my med refills, and to boot, the methadone someone offered me, and an 8th oz of gear too, because I knew someone who knew the particular lot and could be certain there was no fentanyl contamination. Actually its been really quite good brown, nice taste to it too. And unlike the morphine-oxy pain medication pair I am scripted was had early in the morning, and even after sleeping nearly 24 hours straight on monday, the brown, smoked is much more controllable for a lighter, more ideal effect. Just found a length of a spliff behind the kettle, so I think today, like yesterday, I shall sleep very much better, and in a  properly restorative way. Feeling just right, right now med wise, everything keeping me in perfectly balanced out state, no pain in the joints, at least if there is its not bothering me, there is a slightly heavy feeling to my bad knee but its not burning, throbbing, stinging and partially anaesthetized down the side of my leg, as usually happens from my neuropathic pain, most opioids aren't good at treating pain due to nerve damage, but methadone has a special trick up its sleeve-its a weakish NMDA antagonist, not strong enough to be dissociative in a K-hole type of way, but enough to counter pain due to neuropathy.

Its been a while since I can even remember being pain free. The lack of complete crosstolerance between brown and morphine, and likely oxy too, given at least with morphine, there are differently post-translationally modified genetic splice variants of the hMOR1 (human Mu-opioid receptor type 1) between H and morphine, and I'd guess oxy too; its refreshing. I'll be saving some of this hidden away from the house and for special occasions. Like long hikes to go do my mushroom-foraging, gather medicinal plants, herbs, barks, roots etc. and this would be just the thing. Sparingly, I'm not going to pig out on it. (the H, which was really quality stuff too, an 8th of it at that.

Wow...if I didn't know better than to do something that would cause trouble, could get really use to this not having my joints all hurt. This, on this particular day, is just what I needed to sooth my nerves after last night. Nicely sorted out now. All those aches and pains and nervous overloading has been pushed nicely out of the way. Up to watch star trek, TOS and TNG, then watching andromeda. After just having scooped myself up a BIG plateful of cottage pie, and immediately set to shoveling every last scrap down my neck in all of a minute flat, despite just having scarfed a pack of kraft cheese slices and a few extra slices  down.  A quick top up on the tooting pipe, at the few nuggets of H in the end of the pipe I used that hadn't even been warmed last time, and gave me a real nice top up, and then, feet  up, on the sofa, relaxing while I watch TOS and drink nice cold coke straight from the fridge.

Tonight, I just know I am going to sleep something lovely.

Pretty good.

I had a Zombie dream. If you were standing on carpet you would be invisible or they couldn't touch you, but as soon as you stepped off the carpet a weird magnetism would draw them to you and you'd have to kill them before they touched you. As soon as they would touch you you'd become a Zombie. But, as they increased their numbers, they began ripping out carpet, destroying it, so your island of carpeted places would shrink. I eventually ran into a university (occupied and attended by all zombies) and stumbled into a carpeted library/study hall.... I found one other non-zombie human there, and i had my pocket knife out, ready to slash any surprises. We knew they'd be destroying the carpet soon so we had to devise how to get out of town... but remember, as soon as we would step off carpet the magnetism would draw them to us. I decided to risk it and saw a minivan (carpeted) that I highjacked. Keys were in the ignition, and it had state of the art transmission, was a hybrid, and had a full tank of gas. :]

I swung around to pick up the girl but i couldnt find her, and the zombie police started coming after me in their cruisers. dang. i had to flee, drove off, but it was snowing and icey. luckily there werent too many cars on the road, but zombies are terrible drivers.

Shellshocked from my potential heart attack wanting to rear up, the whole hospital thing (thank FUCK I had the sense to bring lots of books. Buried my nose in C'thulhu and his/It's Lovecraftian friends while they were busy sticking me like a fucking pincushion, running an EKG and sticking a fucking needle into my artery.)

Always been a Lovecraft fan, he was one hell of  a writer. And judging from his profile, I reckon he HAD to be on the spectrum. Somewhat awkward, not one for small-talk, retiring, with an excellent mind and a fantastic talent at writing his horror mythos. What do you guys reckon, H.P.Lovecraft-autie/aspie?

I am extremely lucky, I sleep very well at least 99% of the time (I might get insomnia a couple of times a year).

Annoying noises can keep me from falling asleep, things like dripping taps and ticking clocks.

Apart from when I snore and my wife wakes me up to ask me to stop. Then I'm normally asleep again fairly quickly anyway.

I give off a lot of body heat when I'm asleep. So in winter my wife is stuck to me and when I shift my position to try to get comfortable I can only move towards my side of the bed. By morning I am virtually falling out of bed and two-thirds of the bed on my wife's side is empty.

In summer my wife is virtually falling off the bed on the opposite side of the bed, trying to get away from the heat.

First time I was based in the tropics I stayed with a colleague's family. The constant heat and humidity was making me feel miserable and drained. His wife told me to sleep without air con or I would never adjust. I tried it and I was good within a couple of days.

15 years later I was on another project in a similar climate, same colleague was there as well. I told my colleague's wife that I was still following her advice and she had no recollection whatsoever. And she was sleeping with the air con on and feeling like crap during the day.

Cats woke me up at 6am rustling through stuff in my bedroom. I'm in the midst of moving things around so some of my stuff is on the floor temporarily. So the cats got fed shortly after 6 because if I tried ignoring them (Liam is the biggest culprit) they would end up breaking something.

I absolutely LOATHE diphenhydramine, it really has an awful effect  on my cognition and memory, makes me feel as though somebody poured  superglue inro my brain's engine, I can't even do the most basic tasks the day after if I take that awful shit, makes me totally nonfunctional, I dont get fucked overlike this by taking any other sedating antihistamine with anticholinergic effects, but diphenhydramine really does a number on me the next day, its fucking  horrendous. As far as sedating antihistamines go, the one I go for is cyclizine, which also makes a REALLY effective antinauseant, liquefied tablets, squirted up one's ass with a needle-less syringe, that can interrupt it when one is so sick that you find yourself mid sprint to the toilet, and able to walk back instead of puking your fucking guts out.

And if converted from the poorly soluble hydrochloride salt to a properly water soluble salt like the lactate, citrate  or the ascorbate (vitamin C salt) would likely also have decent solubility too; then it also really potentiates the IV rush of opioids big time.

When I was living in Central Europe I went through a phase were I couldn't sleep. I got a prescription for some really good sleeping pills (barbituates).

My (American) girlfriend at the time liked those sleeping pills a lot more than I did. She loved to take one and then try to stay awake as long as possible. She would start to get really trippy.

When our time in Central Europe was up and she moved back to the US, we went around about half a dozen pharamacies and got a repeat of the prescription.

MOSW, its 'barbituRates', they being 5,5-disubstituted derivatives of barbituric acid. Although unsubstituted barbituric acid or thiobarbituric acid have none of the sedative-hypnotic properties  of the 5,5-disubstituted barbiturate derivatives.

Although enjoy it while it lasted. You won't be getting those anymore. The days of the good barbs are long gone now, most were entirely shitcanned, with a couple, secobarbital mainly, being kept in service so that the very old who had been on them and physically dependent on  them for severe insomnia, and who would only be put through needless hell on earth, and possibly, easily indeed, fatal withdrawal were anyone to try and taper them. For the very old who've been on them since they were in common use, it just doesn't make sense not to keep them on the drugs until they pass away. Because they have nothing to gain from ceasing use, if they have been on them that long, and they are very elderly.

These days a few remain, and in specific circumstances in the US. Butalbital in a combination product for migraines. Its one of the less potent ones. Never had it myself, not sure as it is used in the UK. I could of course synthesize it with the typical diethyl malonate route to barbs, but, if I were going to do that, I'd not waste my time with butalbital. I'd go for something like amytal or secobarbital.

We also use in many countries,  as a long lasting, very effective anticonvulsant, as well as for the same use in vet medicine, the very long acting barbiturate phenobarbital, which has no real recreational potential. The sort of thing thats great for comedowns, crashes, insomnia that just won't give up and fuck off etc. Otherwise its crap if it isn't an anticonvulsant you want.

And we use ultrashort duration of effect types, primarily or exclusively those derived from thiobituric acid, such as thiopental sodium (the same one with the 'truth serum' reputation) for surgical knockout during general anaesthesia. Potent, short acting, rapid onset and very effective. But again like the ultra-long acting barbs, the ultrashort ones might be TOO short by mouth for recreational use, and injection is NOT recommended, especially as if you miss a little and it goes into the tissues then this can cause 'barb burns', deep, deep tissue necrosis, due to the strongly alkaline nature of the sodium salts used for injectable preparations. Barbiturates come as two forms, for a specific drug, the free barbituric acid derivative, and also, alkali metal salts, specifically sodium salts, they are highly alkaline. But soluble in water. Unlike the barbituric acids. I've handled both, specifically as barbital. Barbital free acid is highly insoluble in water. Whilst barbital sodium is water soluble.

Barbital, aka 5,5-diethylbarbiturate, was the very first of them. Used to be used, many moons ago, before my lifetime, perhaps in that of our great grandparents  when they were young, but I got my paws on some, about 30g of high-purity lab grade barbital (as the free acid, if I wanted it water soluble then I had to convert it to the sodium salt. Although I tended to take the free acid orally, it still worked  just as  well)

Like phenobarbital, barbital, or veronal as it was trademarked  when it used, many many MANY decades ago, to be used in medicine, the very first of the barbiturates,  it is a very long acting drug, an ultralong-acting barbiturate, but unlike phenobarb, barbital itself is actually very enjoyable.

The intermediate acting ones are meant to be the best, though, although  I've never gone and made any myself.

Although I  have a fair idea how good they are, having had  an intermediate-short duration barbiturate binding site agonist ligand for the GABAa receptor, chlormethiazole.Chemically unrelated, physiologically they have quite a bit,although not everything in common. Very euphoric stuff, although  just like with the barbs, it isn't forgiving if one were to overdose, so great care is mandatory with it,  or bromethiazole, its  brominated analog (not used in medicine, but hey, put a creative autie with a bent for chemistry in front of a lab bench, stock his supply cupboards and his hazmat/volatiles fridge with all manner of useful solvents, acids, bases and his shelves with a large selection of very, very difficult to obtain reagents, and make the autie in question one who has a thorough knowledge of pharmacology and toxicology, all you need to do is wait for him to get a little bit bored, you can guarantee it that something will come out of those lab doors that'll have some most interesting effects on the human body and mind :heisenberg:

Speaking of which, better check on that ammonium formate and see how well the solution is evaporating. Don't want to let it overheat, or I'll just end up being left with its going and converting all to formamide instead. Not that I can't use formamide, such as in a Leukart reaction along with a catalyst (either formamide or ammonium formate can be used in a Leukart, although the formate gives MUCH better yields, it is possible to catalyze a formamide Leukart to improve the yields of  amine  from ketone or aldehyde, and adding a small proportion of ammonium formate also helps a formamide based Leukart apparently although I've never tried running it

Although in this case  I do NEED ammonium formate. Because it isn't FOR a Leukart reaction, I have other things in mind for the ammonium formate. But its nice  to know that even if I were to accidentally damage things, overheat it and have it all convert to formamide then I can still make use of the formamide. Either as-is, or by converting it perhaps to dimethylformamide, DMF is useful as a polar aprotic solvent with a very high boiling point.


I slept good last night, long and well. A lot of very vivid dreaming towards the early morning.

Thanks Lestat. Very interesting info.

It's not something I know much about or have any significant experience with.

I didn't even realize what those sleeping pills were until much later. It was after my ex had moved back to the US and she was wondering if it would be possible to get some prescribed in the US. So I asked her to read out what was on the label and I googled it. This was back in 2002. That was the first time I realized what they were.

As far as helping a stressed-out insomniac to sleep, they were unsurpassed. Your mind would simply move onto a relaxed, pleasant state and you would drift off to sleep. That was how they worked for me anyway. Every single time.

With her unusual and unstable natural brain chemistry (bipolar, untreated) the effect was very different. She would try to stay awake as long as possible after taking half a pill and she would become giggly, trippy, playful.

Years ago when my mum was a teenager, she was drugged up with barbiturates to treat her malignant hypertension (diastolic over 200). She spent months in hospital as doctors were afraid she would have a stroke.

>200 Ren? jesus fucking christ.  Thats exploding head and skull-derived bone shrapnel hand grenade sort of territory. Damn!. I'm glad she was  alright hun. And all the more given you say, she was a teenager? meaning presumably the first hint of tiny little pink Renster baby-toes were long hence due to make their first wriggle?


You don't need to be bipolar or have unnatural or unstable brain chemistry for barbs to make you feel all relaxed, trippy, disinhibited and sort of...well....sedated, yes, but at the same full of relaxed, bubbly energetic...not exactly get up and go, but 'bang into the walls repeatedly and go nowhere, but feel pretty fucking bubbly and good doing it; but not very much else at that particular point in time'

Thats exactly what barbs are like, good ol' wallbanger type downers, most of that sort of GABAergic depressants have been shitcanned, partly due to the fact that benzos went and  got invented. Still physically addictive if misused (or rather if misused in the wrong way and for too long), but benzos won't kill you if you OD on benzos and benzos alone, not unless you REALLY push it, and even then, only some benzos have much liability to do so.

Barbs? they will not bat an eyelid about wiping someone out if they overdose. Partly due to differences in the way they gate the GABAa receptor chloride channel.

GABAa being the principle CNS receptor mediating inhibitory neurotransmission and maintaining overall inhibitory tone (glutamate being counter to GABA in being the primary excitatory neurotransmitter within our brains), the two, GABA and glutamate work both to oppose each other, counter to each other and in tandem, to allow the functions of either to play out as they should (although there is a lot more to either, they don't just regulate each other and nothing else, in fact there are very very few CNS neurotransmission flavoured pies that GABA and glutamate don't both have their sticky fingers in big time)


With the GABAa receptor, our  main CNS inhibitory receptor, its structurally a heteropentameric receptor, formed of varying ratios of GABAa receptor protein subunits, of varying different subtypes, the whole receptor consists of an arrangement of five out of a selection grab bag of these subunits, making up the different subtypes of GABAa receptor. There are always five subunits no matter what overall subtype of GABAa receptor it is, and only certain combinations come together naturally to form functional GABAa receptors. 

These subunits form a pentagonal structure overall, with a gap in the center, which with the receptor's overall structure is able to serve as an ion channel, in this case selective for passing chloride ion currrents, which, upon opening of the central ion channel in response to GABA binding to it's binding site, depending on the electrochemical potential of the cell at the time (I.e whether it is depolarized, or hyperpolarized with respect to the resting potential of the neuron), chloride ions flow through until the channel closes again, and cause the cell to be less responsive to further depolarization (E.g due to stimulation events of an excitatory nature, translated into sodium currents transmitted via voltage-gated sodium channels which depolarize the cell), when the cell is depolarized, an action potential, fires once the cell's potential rises past a certain threshold, repetitive stimuli over a short time being additive, and their being an overall minimum threshold which must be overcome, and subthreshold stimuli being summable to form, when repeated within a given time window, a large enough stimulus takes place when the subthreshold stimuli, if in total they are sufficient, take place, then the action potential fires.

GABA receptors are inhibitory, the influx of chloride ions affecting the potential of the cell in such a way that it is less likely to fire an action potential, by making the overall cell potential more negative, and thus requiring an overall greater magnitude of stimulus in order to permit the neuron to depolarize and fire an action potential. In short, activation of GABA receptors causes the cell voltage to become more negatively hyperpolarized, and thus a greater positive ion current is required to depolarize the cell and thus the cell is less likely to fire an action potential.

And this is why GABAa agonists have depressant properties, sedative, and also anticonvulsant effects, their helping to counter the raging out of control synchronous storm of useless, sustained and repetitive neuronal firing which characterizes an epileptiform seizure. As well as being one of the many mechanisms by which anxiolytic effects, by calming down excessive, overstimulated states, can be manifested.

Benzodiazepines and barbiturates recognize different binding sites at the GABAa receptor complex. When a benzodiazepine binds to it's binding site, it causes the 3D conformation of the GABAa receptor protein complex surrounding the ion channel to change shape, altering the conformation in such a way as to cause the result to have a higher affinity for GABA. Thus there more binding events of GABA binding to the GABAa receptor which also has a benzodiazepine bound to the benzodiazepine recognition allosteric binding site (an allosteric site, from the greek 'allos' 'other', is a site other than the orthosteric site, the orthosteric binding site being the primary recognition site for the native neurotransmitter, in this case, GABA itself, binds the orthosteric site, whilst all manner of things bind to different allosteric sites, benzos, barbs, neurosteroids bind to a neurosteroid regulatory site and have anaesthetic, depressant properties, as well as the Z-drugs  like zolpidem/ambien, zopiclone (lunesta IIRC) and zaleplon (I forget the brand, its fucking useless shit anyway so not worth remembering for any other reason than to know what to tell your doctor to shove up his arse if they offer it to you.


So, with causing more frequent binding of GABA due to the increased affinity benzos induce, that means more ion channel openings per given time period, and also, the reason benzos are less dangerous and less likely to kill in overdose (MUCH less likely, to the point its difficult to die from a benzo OD without complicating factors), is that the increase in GABAergic stimulation is due to more FREQUENT opening of ion channels, the body can respond to this adaptively by opting to release less GABA, and thus decrease GABAergic stimulation. The benzos themselves don't actually activate GABAa receptors, they just increase the likelihood of GABA binding to them and activating the receptor.

Barbs on the other hand, bind to a different allosteric recognition site, and when one does bind to it's site, they cause an increase in the EFFICACY of GABA, that is, each GABA binding stimulus becomes more potent, by extending the duration the chloride channel opens, allowing more chloride ion flux to pass) 

Can't remember if they increase the AFFINITY for GABA as benzos  do (affinity being how tightly the ligand, in this case GABA, binds to the receptor, you could picture it as how much 'hunger' a given ligand has for it's receptor, and once it bites (I.e binds) how forcefully one would have to pry it's mouth apart before it'll give up and bugger off (I.e dissociate from the receptor-ligand complex.

Whilst efficacy, being, as it might indeed seem, being how effective the ligand is in producing it's stimulus once it binds to the receptor. An agonist or inverse agonist by definition, having a positive efficacy, and negative efficacy respectively, whilst an antagonist (more specifically, a silent, or neutral antagonist) simply blocks the receptor, like chewing gum in a lock, and prevents other ligands binding, and by definition has is a ligand with affinity but zero efficacy.)


Anyhow, that explained, with barbs, they cause, on their binding to their allosteric recognition site at GABAa, a much greater channel opening time, and correspondingly larger chloride flux. This, the body cannot compensate for, by decreasing GABA release to cause fewer openings, or if it does then nowhere near as effectively as when decreasing GABAergic tone by releasing less GABA to cause fewer channel openings, due to with barbs, the channel open time being greater, and thus ion flux larger overall.

In addition, barbiturates have a second, non-GABAergic mode of exercising a depressant effect on the body, they do this by acting as AMPA receptor antagonists (a type of ionotropic glutamate receptor (ionotropic receptors being those which work via direct coupling to an ion channel of some nature; the counterpart being a metabotropic receptor, glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter, has both ionotropic and metabotropic types. Metabotropic receptors on the other hand are coupled to intracellular metabolic  chemical cascades that do things like act on intracellular second-messenger chemical pathways eventually leading to alterations in gene transcription etc.] AMPA type ionotropic glutamate receptors [named for AMPA, the first powerful selective agonist of AMPA receptors] are perhaps THE main population of the glutamate-sensitive excitatory receptors in the brain. Sine qua non, the big set'o'cohones, so to speak.

Barbiturates also block this subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptor (the other two subsets being NMDA type (stands for N-methyl-D-aspartate, which recognize glutamate, or more weakly, aspartic acid, although NMDA receptors also require a co-agonist, the aminoacid glycine, to bind to an allosteric glycine recognition site (glutamate or aspartate both bind the orthosteric site, aspartate activates NMDA glutamate receptors more weakly than does glutamate). And lastly, the much less well understood KA receptors (short for kainate, a selective agonist for this population of ionotropic glutamate receptors, and again ionotropic receptors)

So with barbs, one has a set of GABAa agonist drugs that is  not only more difficult, on a cellular   and  receptor level for the body to compensate for excess or overdose, AND, in addition to their exerting the inhibititory, GABAergic agonist effect, they block excitatory, AMPA receptor-type glutamatergic activity. Sort of like likening the part of the nervous system that is the brain and  spinal cord likened to an amplifier, with a 'GABA'  setting, increasing it to a higher GABAergic (agonism) value damps down overall activity, system-wide and one marked 'glutamate' which does the opposite (an agonist is excitatory), the more one turns  up the glutamate dial, the more activity there is.

So by turning the glutamate dial right down  and the GABA dial right up, one is doing as much as one possibly can to mute the eventual note when the string of a plugged in guitar is plucked, turning up the 'more quiet' signal and turning down the 'more loud' signal. If that makes sense. Its a bit of a crude analogy that only shows the basic overall effect on CNS tone, but it fits. Could just as easily have likened it, I suppose to both whispering, and having the listener put ear-defenders on at the same time.

So the barbs have a real one-two punch of an effect, across both inhibitory and excitatory competing systems.

And just because they are real beefy heavyweight sonsofbitches like that, at higher end doses, barbiturates can also directly open the GABAa receptor chloride channel, in the absence of GABA binding.

Added all together, stuck in the oven and baked for half an hour and all you need do is serve with two scoops of chocolate ice cream for 'fucking staggering, bouncing off the walls shitfaced of a depressant sedative-hypnotic, anxiolytic and anticonvulsant'

Part of the reason they got pulled from the market for the vast majority of use indications, is the danger of overdose, they are as good at killing people in OD as they are at doing what it says on the tin, so to speak, in either clinical or recreational doses.

But not all, their recreational potential had a lot to do with their demise, or almost-demise too. Essentially governments going 'we can't let people have these, they will enjoy them too much'. I shit you not.

In the UK, aside from the  crappy (in recreational terms, really, really crappy, really really long acting too) phenobarbital (same as phenobarbitone,depending whether you are in the US or UK, some suffix the names with -XYZbarbital and with the other region its -XYZbarbitone, I forget which way round it is), and for surgical use by anaesthesiologists in hospital, IIRC the only one available is seconal, secobarbital, and that is on a named-patient basis, you'd have to be specially approved as a patient to receive it, and no pharmacy would stock it, they'd  have to order it specially on that basis.

Plus the chance of actually GETTING that to happen, from any doctor, for insomnia or anxiety, forget it. About as much chance of that happening, as  there is of father bloody christmas bringing me my own transnational borders-sized suite of proton/antiproton accelerator  and heavy ion accelerator suite and dedicated nuclear power plant just for me personally, and  the government to just offer me as much plutonium or uranium fuel as I feel like asking for, when I feel like asking for it. Plus the lead pigs for the fuel rods to come lined with gift-wrap and tied off with a little red satin bow.

Only reason I ever managed to try other than phenobarbital (shitty, shitty, as in actively shitty not just lackluster shitty), was that barbital itself, (as  is phenobarb IIRC but I lucked out selection wise in that respect) is used as a PH buffer in genetics/microbiology labs, and I had a contact who could  easily and safely grab about 30g with it not being missed, and offer him something he couldn't get in return. Something I thought, honestly, really shitty, phenergan, OTC here, not where he is, although its a dopamine receptor antagonist, strong sedating antihistamine as well, but essentially an antipsychotic (phenothiazine typical antipsychotic with very very very weak potency), but, he knew what it was, and I in no way deceived him,  but when he asked for that in particular I didn't refuse him either. He knew what he was  getting and how much, and seemed happy to get just that, despite my pretty much feeling like he was being massively short-changed. Almost to the point I didn't like the trade in principle because  it was so heavily weighted in my favour.

But, you can't really say its ripping somebody off if someone offers you gold bars in return for a handful of dirt, just because they happen to collect dirt samples from around the world, and they KNOW exactly what the thing they are asking for, and getting, is, can you?

Never look a gift horse in the mouth as they say, so I didn't. I sure as shit wouldn't ACCEPT the trade he did, let alone ask for it, in reverse, fuck no, not in a thousand  years of sundays would I fuck! but hey, someone offers me gold in return for yesterday's newspaper soaked in piss and spit? they can have all the piss and loogie-soaked out of date tabloid second-rate-bog-roll newspapers they want. Not my problem if some people just have strange desires. If its what they want, why not let them have it :P

Weird as hell, but people are entitled to be weird. Just as well for me they are too, what with the whole being a spazz and all.

Otherwise, I'd never have gotten to try any of the barbs, unless I were to do the work myself and make them for myself. Although I never have done it personally, I gather the synthesis isn't difficult. Wouldn't mind trying sometime, try some of the short-intermediate duration ones with a real reputation for being recreational as hell.

Its one of those things that is pretty appealing, and that I could certainly manage, but that for whatever the reason, I haven't actually gotten round to it before. And I don't know why, either. Nothing specific I can pin down as an active reason NOT to run up a batch of seconal, or amytal, only 'haven't got round to it because there are other things that want me to get round to them as well, and I only have one pair of hands'

Kinda odd really, because  even long-duration barbital was  fucking nice stuff (I do mean barbital itself here, not phenobarbital,  which  is fucking shit unless you need it for seizure control), and barbital is more or less the cheap cider next to the bum-wine and prison inmate-export pruno special brew in the local off-license, were they yet at the stage of fucking prohibition off sufficiently to serve the mind-altering things  people want in stores suited for the purpose.  But  relative to other barbiturates, that is. sedative-hypnotic-wise, it is quite outstanding, same as a recreational.  Certainly far better than any benzo I've ever had or that anyone is ever likely to invent.

Had been sleeping like crap until just the other day. I don't know why, but sometimes I just KNOW I will only be able to sleep lying on one particular side, sometimes on the other, and it changes from time to time every night. And on one side my shoulder has been hurting, don't know what I've done, but shoulder and upper arm on either side right near my shoulder has been hurting if I move it or worse, lie down on it. But thankfully the pharmacy accidentally ended up giving me some sleeing pills I wasn't meant to get. So I've been sleeping like a baby while that heals. Take a couple before sticking my blindfold on, and if I wake up later, one or two more, and I'll be out all night.

Not good in the morning. I closed my door to the cats. But I have a Japanese bell hanging from my outside door handle and Kira now knows how to jiggle it to make sound. And it gets really annoying really fast.

So he was doing that just past 6am this morning - too early to be fed. So I let him and Liam into my room and went back in my bed. So then Kira went under my bed and started ripping up the newspaper that an ornamental tile was wrapped in. That was annoying too so I crawled under my bed to bring the tile out, unwrap it and throw the newspaper in the bin. There will probably be more under there that Kira will try and wreck because he's hungry.

So yeah, that was interrupted sleep.

Ok here is the visualisation:

You lie down, get in sleeping position.

Then you visualise walking towards a flight of stairs, which is going down.

The first step lights up red when you step on it, and the space is filled with red light...red like [insert red item from your memory]. I might think, red like a honey crisp apple, and then visualise the red light and the red apple.

The second step lights up orange, and the space is filled with orange light...orange like [insert orange item from your memory]. I might think, orange like carrot juice, and then visualise the orange light and the carrot juice.

The third step is yellow...and repeat visualisation
The fourth is green.... repeat visualiation for green....
The fifth is blue...repeat visualisation for blue...
The sixth is lilac purple....repeat visualiation...
The seventh is a darker purple...repeat visualisation...

The bottom of the stairs is black...so when you get there, you visualise space and everything as being pitch black, and now you walk down this dark black hallway and at the end of the long hallway is a small door, just big enough for you to crawl through.

You have a key of some sort to open the door, and only you have access to it. Could be a physical key, a pin code, a touch...whatever. But you have the key.

You unlock the door and squeeze over into the other world where everything and every symbol is yours. My counselor said his world was like a cottage at the edge of the sea and all the animals would come be with him, and he had shelving in his cottage where he put different things.

For me I tend to wander into a changing universe, and there are spirits (good and bad) to greet and contend with. My world is less safe, less static, but thats just what suits me.

Your world, you can do/be whatever in it....

Usually I fall asleep before I get to the blue step. But even if I dont, it relaxes me. I was surprised that it worked.

I slept lightly and a bit tossing and turning-ey, well, not that there's much room to turn on the sofa, comfy as it is.

Then 7AM, rude awakening, last dregs of pain medication in my system had buggered off completely. Forcing me awake and feeing like a bag of arses, covered in arse sauce, and wrapped in an arse.

Knocked myself out with a large dose of a powerful muscle relaxer, that blocks nor/adrenaline release, in order to cause a temporary, profound hypotension. Which isn't as elegant, not even close, as a sleeping pill (I'd already had five, four 5mg nitrazepam, and 1x192mg chlormethiazole, a more barbiturate-like med, and they hadn't even put a dent in the inability to sleep. Normally, that'd floor someone for the whole night, and probably the best part of the following day too), but, forcing my blood pressure to hit the deck worked. About four hours and 20 minutes, timed it just right, woke up, feeling shitty as I knew would be the case. But I timed it so that I was mere minutes off from the expected delivery time of a 'before 1pm'  next day weekend rapid shipment, someone sent plenty methadone.

So I took a couple of hundred mg, got 70 tablets, had a bit over half, and feeling fine. Slept in a nice long comfy nap on the sofa, after extracting it, preparing it for an IM dosing, whack, in it goes, out I went, toking on my e-cig contentedly until the rather sizable serving of 'done went past 'nice  and warm and comfy' and towards 'get your eyeshades on, because the light might wake you up earlier than planned many hours later'

Got enough for tomorrow, get my repeat rx monday 8am, Miscalculation of remaining pain med supply crisis averted. And actually feeling pretty decent. Although I think I'll have a wee top-up, just 20mg or so, whilst I work upon.....one of my projects my autie-thing makes me like lots....CBC would get it.

We have no air conditioning. Just fans for us. I wish I could spend the night at the shops. So cool there.

Last night I had a headache when I went to bed as well as a slight fever I think. I was in front of my fan without any covers on and still sweating. After two hours of this I gave in, got up and took some paracetamol. Half an hour later the headache was gone and I stopped sweating. Then I had a good night's sleep.

I like to sleep in until the late morning if I can. But what I've been wondering is, do any of you feel like crap if you sleep too much? For me it's a fine line between just enough and too much sleep.

I try to go to bed every night between 8:30pm and 9pm. Usually it's a little bit later.

Ren, it's kinda hard to tell the difference between feeling like crap because you slept too much, and sleeping too much because you feel like crap. I used to think that the former was happening to me pretty often, but now,  since my condition got worse, and i;ve learned to recgnise the triggers, I'm pretty confident that it's always the latter in fact.

Like hammered arab shit smells. Thats how I slept.

I had to resort to hypotensive agents to induce a temporary bottoming out of my blood pressure until I fainted, after drinking a lot of alcohol and taking a strong ass sleeping tablet before I got even a few hours rest.

Now, with my meds in me, I picked them up at about 10 minutes past 8, give or take, and I've just slept in until a bit after half 3pm.

Woke up a few minutes ago, to black sabbath's 'iron man' playing on youtube, along with their brilliant track 'the wizard'.

I hate getting up at stupid o'clock to catch planes. Especially when they expect you to squeeze into economy and still be ready to work as soon as you arrive.

There are some real jetsetters at work, constantly flying all over the place. Account managers and sales people. Oh how I do not envy them.


Last night I got home and passed out on the sofa pretty much straight away. I think it was some kind of sugar coma, I found half a kilo of Xmas candy for $2 at the supermarket and it was actually pretty good, I ate about half of it on the way home in the train. Blegh.

Anyway, woke up a few hours later AFTER my wife's repeated efforts to get me to walk upstairs and go to sleep in our actual bed. And when I did, couldn't sleep at all for a few hours. Almost fell asleep a couple of times, but the bloody fire alarm battery picked about 3 am to start telling us that it needed replacing, by going BEEP BEEP BEEP. Then it went quiet again for half an hour then BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP until I took the fucker out and made sure there were no real fires anywhere.

Finally got 2 or 3 hours sleep, ending up over an hour late for work.

Awoke a minute before my alarm went off. That is like back to normal.

Had a hard time getting my son to go to bed last night.

We watched "National Treasure" with Nicholas Cage. About average for a Nicholas Cage movie (it was a stinker). Then started watching "Da Vinci Code" but had to send him to bed less than halfway through.

I could see that he was disappointed. Afterwards I asked him if he wanted me to tell him the ending and he said yes. I explained that the real Holy Grail was the last direct descendant of Jesus, and he had already worked out who that was. Little smartypants, I had no idea until right at the end.

I normally sleep well. Except when my wife wakes me up for snoring.

Last night I was very tired, fell asleep very quickly. Then woke up around 2 am, feeling hot and nauseous. Couldn't get back to sleep. Got about an hour in the morning. Ended up late for work.

Thought about what might have caused it while I was on the train this morning. Realized that it must have been the short hike I went on yesterday with my son during the early afternoon while it was hot. I'm really out of shape and I got really hot and sweaty. Mild heat stress.

Slept well. Had an exciting dream that I found access to a hidden room in the lower levels of a palace where the skin of a slain dragon had been magically bound. The dragon skin was a silvery colour and very large and heavy. I got in there and there was more than the evil dragon, there were spirits of dozens of other humans, trapped for some reason. I tried to free them.... (at work, cant write too many more details)...

We use our fireplace when it gets really cold.

But I don't get people who start burning wood when the overnight minimum is around 14 Celsius. Outside. Seriously, put on a hoodie and some tracky daks or something.

But with the price of electricity in Oz these days, a wood fire makes sense for heating.

The minimum temperature hasn't even been below 10°C. During the day haze can be seen.

For the past few years, there's been no heating in our tiny house. We just pile on the warm clothes.

I would love a fireplace, but same.
Pollen, mold, dust, dampness, extreme cold, pet hair, cigarette smoke, chemicals, fragrances...most days when I snuggle my cat I'm fine, but some days I start breaking out in hives and need my inhaler. It follows no rhyme or reason.

I tend to avoid visiting people because sometimes I end up feeling like hell for the next 2 days after being in their houses. Scented candles, dust, sometimes just the using the scented hand soap in the bathroom after 2 cups of coffee is enough.

When I fix vacuums I use masks and work outside and I can still tell you if that person has a dog or a cat and which, if they smoke and what they smoke, if they use scented candles or perfume (and whether it's the cheap shit or expensive), if they sprinkle their carpets with carpet fresh, have sprayed for ants, have old carpet...or have a potential moisture problem.

I slept well.

We don't use any heating in my house and the temperature outside would have been close to freezing last night. I just wear summer clothes to bed, we have a warm blanket. My wife layers up and snuggles up to me, she uses me to warm up her cold hands and feet. More than once I have woken up with a scream as a result of that. Sometimes I wake up because I am too hot under the blanket, and I have to stick half my body out from under the blanket so that I can cool down.

My daughter is a very heavy sleeper, always sleeps through her alarm. 10 years old. We have a bit of a running joke between us where I wake her up by grabbing her arm and using it to hit herself over the head and saying "stop hitting yourself" at the same time. She has done this to me a couple of times as well, initially it's not a fun way to wake up and it takes me a few seconds to see the funny side of it. But my daughter always thinks it's funny when I do it to her. She gets very upset if people yell at her to get up, so when she says "can you wake me up at 6:30 am?" (or some other time) I ask her "how would you like to be woken up?". She says "just do what you usually do, hit me with my own arm until I wake up".

I actually slept fairly well last night. I have had a cold recently. First one in almost two years.
This was an ugly little bastard and my lungs were severely compromised and filled with goo, if you can forgive the use of a common vernacular.

Last night was the best I have slept in almost two weeks.

I slept well. I had an awesome dream. I was in a completely real parallel universe with real people, but because I knew that I was dreaming I was able to perform magic.

I have had lucid dreams before but this one was kind of unique in that I believed that I was in a real place while I was asleep and dreaming back in this reality.

I got him a train set for Christmas. While he was playing with it I got this vague memory that Wolf had asked me to get him a train on a track to play with under the Christmas tree. Not sure if it happened here or in dream, but this one should have read from Mama and Daddy on the tag.

Sounds like your instincts were spot on.  As for the rest about the tag......the time will come to tell him and he will understand.  8)  Children are creatures of instinct and intuition.  Don't second guess your gut.

Hey :) I was looking at Christmas pressies, just before I got sick to follow through.  Anyway,  my mind just kept coming back to the Brio trainset that my son had had as a toddler, and really, really, really wanting to get same for the cub, though it's way too expensive , ofc.   And, besides,  I pretty much guessed ypu would buy him something similar yourself,

And so you have! :)

Ah the one I got is very similar to that. Imaginarium. The pieces are very simple - one engine with two cars, and a basic track set that makes a circle. But it's entirely expandable for future birthdays and Christmases. And he loves it just as it is, and spent ages today pushing the train around the track.

Horribly. Couldn't breathe through my nose so had to breathe through my mouth and that sucked because I had to keep getting up for drinks for my dry mouth. It's pointless blowing my nose because it's blocked and nothing comes out. Icky, I know. I thought it was getting better yesterday but last night it got worse.

Not all that well. I woke up sweaty because it was humid outside. So I randomly got up and cleaned the cat litter.
This has never happened before (getting up at 5am and deciding to clean litter) so it was odd in retrospect.
Maybe the current environment we find ourselves in has made me over-dilligent. I even wash the dishes every day now!

Anyway after I finished I went back to bed but couldn't fall asleep again.

Short naps, when I slept. It was my night to patrol the neighborhood before daybreak.

But something I did during one of my naps relaxed something that was causing back pain. My back feels more flexible and with less pain than I have had in weeks.

Not well. Couldn't get hospital pup to pee before bed (she was too out of it) and I knew her body was full of IV fluid. Sure enough 1:30am rolls around and she's frantic to go out. Turns out the stress got to her so she had the runs to boot. It was a long and stressful night. About to nap though. One of the advantages of quarantine. I've got exactly nowhere to be.

The quick step slippery poops are to be expected, but I would call the pup awakening you at night a really good sign.

Glad to see all is well.

Yeah she's bouncing back nicely. Slowly, which is what I want. She's just wise to the ways I'm hiding her pills to get them into her system which is becoming stressful. 6 more days of horse pills to get down her. I cut them up into thirds and hide them in bread balls, or peanut butter or cream cheese which makes it smaller and quick to swallow but she's figured it out and sucks off the yummy stuff and spits out the pill  :P

This morning when she finished her breakfast, I looked to make sure she ate and everything was gone except for 1/3 of her pill sitting there nicely on display in the exact centre of her bowl. She's a bit passive aggressive.  :lol1:

The dog we had before the one we have now was clever doing this as well. We got about a week's worth of doses down him using trickery and concealment. I had to finally give up and force him to take them, every day. The pills were something he had to live with, since the medication controlled his seizures.
He eventually resolved himself to my gentle, stuff the pill down his throat and do not allow him to spit it out efforts.

He was an awesome little dog and I never thought I would say so about a chihuahua. But he was a tough, brave, protective little fellow with a lot of personality. I miss him.

Dogs simply make life better (for those of us who like sharing space with them).

Didn't sleep well. Hospital pup had me up at 3:30am with a desperate need to go outside and once I got up to let her out, I was wide awake. She's now snoring deeply beside me. Figures.  :P

Dogs are great, if you don't mind farting and snoring, and refusing to get off the couch. I figure if my pooch can tolerate me doing it I should reciprocate.  :lol1:

I didn't sleep well. Had to get up at the crack of arse to go get a few bits of shopping while the shop was still quiet and took me a while to get back to sleep, just before the alarm went off.  :yawn:

Really rotten. Had a headache that didn't want to go away until I took some paracetamol, then it took me until after midnight to actually sleep because it was hot despite my fan.

Woke up at three because Liam was meowing in my face - he wanted dry food. Couldn't get to sleep again until 5am. Then the cats wanted to go out at 6am. I haven't slept since then. So I've gotten up and had breakfast so far.

We don't have internet at home as we believe that kids should sleep occasionally. I turn on my mobile hotspot and ration their access.

It doesn't stop amazing me how much space a pet needs on a bed.
A cat easily can block a queen sized bed on his own. As if it's New Foundlander sized.

But, have worked a miracle with Lorre. He actually curls up as a tiny ball in a corner of my bed.

It's how they dealt with the backlog in people waiting. The government gave them permission to run 24/7. Hospitals used to as well but with COVID it's now emergency only at the hospital but private clinics can continue to run 24/7 if they practice distancing rules. You don't cross paths with any other patients while you're in the clinic which for me was nice because it was quieter.

Not bad. Looking forward to getting back to my own bed at some point. Still on the couch until the dog is out of the cone.

I mean I AM wildly dedicated to my dogs to a level that most humans are not but hell no, I'm not giving up my bed! Although I happily let them share it when HB is working the night shift. The dogs combined top out at 220 lbs so not much room left for him if he were home  :lol1:

I'm vitamin D deprived, blood work says so. Not surprising because I am a recluse and can get away with it now. Doc said get some, so I did. It was like taking LSD or something akin to it. The dreams were horrible. Living color nightmares. He never mentioned such a thing. Over the course of time I stopped taking it and then it was suggested, through a conversation, I take it in the morning and not at night. That has helped, but the dreams are still more pronounced, but easier to handle. I'm doing a smaller dose too.

In hind sight, I wonder. If part of my diet and my habit of not liking to go outside is part of a "the body is telling me". I hope that makes sense. There are some real pros and cons to that statement, I think, and vitamin D, perhaps others.

I've never been able to do it, but my Father had PTSD from the war (WW2, B-17 gunner) and he had a habit of sleeping with one foot out from under the covers and I know why he did it. Heat brings it on. Point is, you don't have to have been in combat to have PTSD.

Sleep sometimes is my enemy and sometimes the only thing that saves me. One little trick I learned in the Army is the cat nap and it will get you through a lot for a little while. Naps are your friend and it sometimes is just that moment you catch before real sleep and the wake that can get you through more. I hope that makes sense too.

Jack is also vitamin D deficient, though over the counter supplements aren't working. Was very recently given a prescription level dose to take for a few months. Will see how that works out.

Loved those naps in between the all day shifts, helped me through it all.

Depends on what you've been eating, junk food generally tend to from time to time makes me feel lazy and sluggish generally. Lack of nutrients is not good. I tend to cook a whole lot more and it's helped quite a bit surpassingly. Vitamin D is a lack of iron I assume (don't know why I always forget that) but you'll find that eating a whole lot more fish should improve the vitamin D intake and being outside helps also.

Your right, you don't have to be in combat to have PTSD. Generally anything traumatic causes PTSD.

I have been sleeping like a baby lately.

I don't know why people say that, babies are crap at sleeping. I mean that I have been sleeping very peacefully and well.

I start to get real sleepy around 9 pm or so, manage to stay awake until 10 or 11, and then I try to wake up around 6 but fail and end up waking up around 7.

I am sure that I'm weird, when I'm stressed and anxious it wears me out and I sleep better than when I'm not.

Sometimes I think sleep is an attitude. It isn't how much I got, how long it was, or how short. The reason I think this, now, is because my out look has changed. I used to be able to go days with out it and enjoyed it. Sleep is sleep, you don't think about it when you do it, the thought about it is when you're awake. That is a bias and an attitude, often preconceived about how you're supposed to feel. I giggle when my wife tries to catch up on sleep, it isn't possible. But she seems to like it, so what the hell. No one yet has made up the past, except for history books.

What does he do to keep you awake?
He has questions about things that relate to safety. His anxiety is horrific at night. Last night was wrapped up by midnight. The night before it spiked around 2am. Before that it usually lasted until 4am. It's been building since the pandemic as increased in positive cases and especially since his work is prepping to re-open. We're moving to phase 2 of reopening on Friday and his work can't reopen until phase 3 so he still has a chunk of time. But his germaphobia is at horrific levels. I'm a very light sleeper so when he wakes me up to ask questions, I can't always get back to sleep. Or it ends around 4am, I fall asleep around 5am and then have to start my day at 6am.

Well I haven't said I haven't done exactly that :laugh: Sometimes I have more compassion and patience and sometimes I'm just bone tired and need some time and space and sleep. Depends on the night. But the one thing I do every single time is sit down with him the next day and talk it out. Why I was upset, how I could have handled it better, but also that it's my job to make the boundary very clear and it's his job to be respectful of it or else things will get messy and we'll both say and do things we normally wouldn't. Parenting is a hard gig, that's for sure.

Hmm, don't think I could have handled being a parent. I'm glad that there's parents around like you that do a good job of it. :)

Last night I slept well because I now have an extra blanket on my bed. It's heavy and feels nice.

Good until 4:30am when the cats wanted to go out separately, then they wanted dry food. I refuse to give Mollie hers before 8am because then she gets hungry way before dinner time. So she kept me awake by singing the song of her people.

Yes, the same one. She's just been alright so far but unfortunately just can't seem to workout if she actually deliberately brings herself back into hospital?
She seems to be denial that she has Lupus and seems to act like there is nothing wrong.
Her mental state seems really bad lately which is very concerning (only because she went through something traumatic), not sure what to think anymore?

Utter crap. Out of the blue yesterday, herniated disc pain in my lower back that won't go away. Tried CBD oil first which worked for awhile but wore off around midnight. Finally caved at 4am and took an anti inflammatory and it's now down to a dull roar. Wouldn't care so much except today I'm leaving for 4 days with my kids and I don't want to deal with nagging back pain. (feels every bit her age this morning  ::) )

too bloody well again. had a bit of a break after the first 4-5 hours , as usual.  then back to sleep for anpther 4-5 hours... on top of sleeping most of the way through yesterday.  been like this for the past two weeks ( I think it;'s been brought on by my allergies and/ or weather turning cold-ish again).  i've been awake for no more than six hours per day, in total,  as a rule. and no, it isn't pleasant to sleep so much, as you might suppose.

that said, i think i must have turned a corner. I've been awake for about 12 hours thus far today :) ... :apondering:... though  that includes a few hours lolling on the sofa ,  feeling groggy and exhausted and verging on dropping off to sleep. so not sure that seriously counts . Can't be sure i didn't drop off, come to think , but still. i;m pretty sure i've tirned a corner now.

Best thing is exercise.  You need to see a physiotherapist (or if you don;t want the cost and hassle then google for exercises for back pain).  You have to build up the muscle mass to support your weakened spine.  But get proper professional help if you can.

If you are really floored with pain and need anti-inflamatories then the best by far - and I mean by an order of magnitude - is diclofenac in suppository form.  They can be awkward to get in place if you;ve got back pain but if you have a partner you seriously trust and some disposable non-latex gloves they can use for the job in hand...  well, let's just say it can be something to bring you closer together.

If anyone else has advice please post because my spine is a frigging mess.  One thing I will say, is if you think it's painful in your lower spine, just thank God that it hasn't happened in your neck.  That's a real shit deal and is even more painful.

*phew* saw my name in that nest of quotes, and thought for a second you were advising me to get more exercise.  You don't wanna know my answer to that  :laugh:

Sorry I've no advice to offer, I've had severe back pain in the past, but cause unknown (prolly related to childbirth cos it started shortly after) , The only thing that ever worked for me was was lying flat on my very hard living room floor,  pressing the curvy part of my back hard against it, and staying like that  for aaages. Pain killers just didn't make a dent.

Oh I have that too, but thankfully they all seem to keep switching which one will aggravate me one at a time? I do a lot of stretching, yoga is good dependent on the pose, I have to be picky. Swimming is amazing. It's the one form of exercise that always leaves me feeling better vs worse. And I absolutely agree that moving more not less is key. The more I walk, the more relief I get from the lower back. Shoulders and neck are a different story but I have an appt with the Rheumatologist on Tuesday.

I had no idea I had been referred until they called to remind me of the appt I didn't know existed for a doctor I have never heard of.  :facepalm2: Someone at either my GP or Neuro's office forgot to keep me in the loop. So he'll be going over that I'm sure but he was originally brought onto the team due to my ESR levels. I had to ask them why I'm seeing him because I wasn't exactly sure  :P

Like crap. I have really bad hayfever and allergies and have run out of antihistamines. Will get some more today if I can.

So last night my nose was completely blocked most of the time and I had to breathe through my mouth which was horrible. I kept having to get up and have drinks.

Do you know what's triggering these reactions? It's always best to eliminate the trigger, if feasible. And me, I just  have to try eliminating triggers, ever since the wonderful drug companies managed to add one or more  my triggers (most often corn derivatives)  to every damned antihistamine formulation.

I've since noticed that it's not just airborne triggers setting off  my asthma, hayfever, weeping eyes etc . More often its my freaking food.  Worth checking.

And now, I find that I've developed histamine intolerance. Oh joy! Yet further restrictions in my diet, but the relief is wonderful:  no more sniffling, wheezing, and weeping all over the place and I can actually stay awake all day :) Heck, i feel almost human again.

It's spring here, so I think that has something to do with it. I've only had limited tests to find out I'm allergic to cats and dust but there has to be something else. I'm allergic to something at the Salvos because my eyes often start watering while I'm there.
Title: Re: How well did you sleep last night?
Post by: Walkie on October 11, 2020, 04:04:51 AM
Bear in mind that allergy tests are not altogether reliable. symptom  diaries are much better guides, especially if you can control the variables (eg by elimation diet.  I know, i know, not so easy with this sort of thing, though)

Interesting that you often, but not always get rections at the salvo.  That variance might help to pin down the cause.  Cleaning/disinfecting  chemicals spring to mind straight away, but it might be something less obvious .  If you can find out what they use and when they use it ( both on building and also  maybe on stock? ) that might just  reveal the  trigger, in conjunction with a symptom diary. It might also be worth keeping a diary of every little change at work, When do delveries arrive? who are you working with today?  (you might be allergic to their perfume, cat dander on their clothing... ) what activity are you doing?  in which room? including logging visits to the toilet- there would be loadsa chemicals in there ( Me i get reactions just  to flushing my freaking toilet or running the taps,  whenever chlorine levels in the water supply are particularly high.  Something else to bear in mind).    Really tedious, i know, but often well worth the trouble.

In any case, best of luck with this, Ren.

Well, I've started coughing so I think this might be a cold instead of allergies. At least this means it will go away sooner or later. My nose is clearer which is good. I'm at the Salvos store today so I'm going to try and stay out the back where customers won't be bothered by my cough.

Mollie the cat is getting up earlier and earlier to get me to let her outside, then let her back in after she's peed. This morning it was 4:30am. Then I have to feed her and Kira at 7:30am. Then take meds at 9:30am. I envy Kayleigh because she can sleep straight through.

Guessing I'll not sleep much the next 12 days. It's like that motorway accident you can't stop staring at.

I have a Facebook friend who's a Trump supporter. Just today, he claimed that the insurrectionists were Antifa people in MAGA hats in response to other friends who said it was time for the orange moron to go or be impeached again. Sort of like an unfiltered version of the WH press propagandist Kelly McIneninenynenineny who was quick to draw a parallel between the peaceful BLM protests and this (and of course, there is none). My friend is retired now, but he had a distinguished career at Dolby Labs and he's otherwise a perfectly sane and reasonable person. And, from the looks of it, a great cook. It's just this MAGA bs.

Why is it that this Trump drivel attracts so many people? Why can't they see through him and his acolytes when they're capable of reasoning their way through everything else? They may be a minority but they produced more votes than anyone else in US elections history except for Biden, and I can't help but think that the US' problems are only beginning.

Make sure that "monitor" is fairly large, wears a nice suit, knows martial arts and has a carry license. You would not want your daughter to drive her new car unprotected without a good monitor.

Had another one where I was trying to get back to the mainland from a racetrack. Nobody wore shoes, it rained a lot, and the only means of transport was a bus that you were only allowed to board if you could find a pair of shoes.

It all made perfect sense in the dream.

I'm curious if it was a horse or car race.  :orly: Or maybe it was gocarts.  :zoinks:

A dream that focuses on the feet is a way of exploring your life direction and the sense of taking a path that will allow you to express your real attributes and strengths. Being barefoot symbolizes returning to your authentic nature in making a type of change. If you are looking for shoes - you may be searching for meaningful work.

Car race.

We feed Rowan breakfast at 7am because he's still a kitten (bloody big kitten) so guess who has to get up and feed him? It's not Kayleigh.

It's dark then and I don't want to turn on any lights so I try not to let Rowan's meows get to me until 7:30am.

I couldn't sleep well enough at all.... I was in the ER because of almost an awful amount of blood seeping out of me! All because of a scab that looked like a fucking bug bite!!! I couldn't move because I was putting pressure on the leak, and Mom and Dad called 911, where the EMTs and the cops came into our house. Surprisingly the EMTs were better this time, the cops were too fucking MACHO!

Can I have a cookie now? I'm annoyed that this happened -_____-

It's completely expected for police to arrive in response to any 911 emergency call, and since they are on patrol it's likely they are the closest and first to arrive. While they are trained first responders who can assist if needed, they are present to assess and control the scene, as well as obtain details for official reports.

I finally understand the difficulties people with fibromyalgia have in getting to and staying asleep.

The pain in my hips and legs stop me from getting to sleep big time. Then Rowan woke me at 2am wanting his face rubbed. Then he wanted to go under my doona next to me. Then he didn't. Then he did. Then he didn't. Then he did. You get the idea. Finally, I encouraged him to sleep next to my pillow with the corner of my doona covering him.

I swear Rowan knows how to tell the time. At 7am he started meowing and pawing at my face because he wanted to be fed. So I fed him and went back to bed until 8:15am.

^Same here, I was worrying about the new company taking over at work. It means I'm on contract now instead of permanent part-time. I have to tell them how much I'll be paid. I'm also now in charge of my superannuation which has never happened to me before.

This worries me. I think I'll be ok in a couple of months after doing this.

You know when you're almost alseep and you can almost see dreams right in front of you, but you can still hear things, almost down, but not quite yet?

That was my night.
I gave up about four AM and came out to my shop to stumble around and drink coffee.

I got up early mainly because I couldn't wait to get back to my mono stack.

Slept well after a nice long bath just before retiring for the day. I was tired!
Woke up energized!  Feels good for a change.

Heh, it was from a truck across the road. I had a sneaky peek over our wall. Why the driver had to sit there with it in reverse was beyond me.

Last night at about 2am I went to pee and Rowan (the cat) came in with me. He was fine and purring but suddenly he had a coughing fit and then he threw up. So cleaning that up was a bit of an interruption to sleep. Rowan seems fine now, he ate breakfast at 7am as usual.

My wife no longer uses an alarm clock, since she works nights and sleeps when she can. We NEVER wake her when she's down!

... but she has an alarm clock that sounds like a dumptruck backing over your head. It works. You will wake the Hell up.

I always set an alarm clock if I have to get going early, but I always awaken before the alarm. Always have. Don't know why.

Used to be because of my sweet cat, but she's gone now. I can't imagine how that cat could tell time so well, but she always licked me awake at my eyelids a few minutes before the alarm went off. How did she know?

I miss her.

My car's alarm activated at around 2am. So I went out to it and made sure all the doors were closed properly and the windows were up. The back passenger side was slightly down. That could have been the culprit. It hasn't activated since.

Slept until 5:30am when I was woken up by Rowan.

I've figured out how to stop Rowan from bothering me so much in the early morning. If he reaches out to claw at my face, just grab his paw. He doesn't like to have his front paws touched so this makes him stop. Today I slept until 7am before I got up to feed the cats and let them out. Better than 5am.

Slept well until 7am when I had to get up and feed the cats. I had my door shut all night so they didn't bother me. As soon as I opened my bedroom door they rushed toward the back door, expecting to be let out. But they're indoor cats until we get a new side fence (don't know when that is).

This was the night before last but I was laying on my back asleep when Rowan clawed my top lip. What a rude awakening. It was still dark. Anyway, it was so painful that I rolled onto my stomach with my arm pressed against my lip. I lay like that for so long that Rowan went away and I fell asleep again.

I woke up at about 7:10am and got a shock. There was blood all over my hand and the back of my wrist. I went to the bathroom to wash it all off and there was a barely visible scratch on my top lip. All that blood from that? Well I was glad it wasn't anything worse.

Last night I shut the cats out of my room and got a better sleep.

Currently working on getting the cub to sleep through the night without wetting the bed. That's meant setting an alarm for 2am every night and dragging him up to the toilet. He has no motivation to get out of bed on his own and would rather sleep in the wet than crawl out from under warm blankets.

She usually lets me sleep until 7 or so before she gets impatient, but if there is an emergency she will. That's an emergency the way dogs see the world.

She's not like a cat, to be sure. Cats are monsters when it comes to their needs.

Dogs tend to think that you are their best friend. Sometimes they control you, but it's not that difficult to change that if you know what to look for.

That's not doable with cats, in my experience.

Fairly well, except for the typical trip to the bathroom every few hours. :hahaha:

But, I managed to fall back to sleep several times. Added up to a decent night of rest.

Good, even got a sleep in.

Grabbed Rowan and gave him a hug when he woke me up. He didn't like it.

Good, though I had the chance to sleep in but didn't due to the dead weight of Rowan on my legs.

I slept through until 4:30am then had to pee. Of course my walking through the house woke the cats up and Rowan started scratching at my bedroom door and meowing very loudly so I let him in. I can't have Kira in my room during the night because he sits on my window sill and growls at nothing.

So Rowan was a nuisance until 6:30am when I let them out. I haven't slept since. Might have a nap later today.
