Currently I’ve been rotating s0mas and flexeril every other night on top of a low dose pk. The combo puts me out like a light 1 hour after ingestion.
Strangely, any of this meds alone doesn’t quite cut it anymore. Benzos of all kinds will help, albeit slight, GET TO sleep, but always wake up within a couple of hours and struggle for 1-2 hours trying to get back...
Unfortunately, the pk/flex combo causes profuse night sweats every time now without fail. Only question is will the sheets be wet or completely soaked. Never had this problem before with this combo. The pk with soma allows me a full 7-8 hours uninterrupted but if flexeril is used, it is dry mouth and smellysheets when I awake lol.
When I take regular breaks from pk’s I don’t use muscle relaxers and use ZMA to help. I also find thatexhausting myself during the day if I can is the best way. Simple in theory, difficult in practice. But honest to God I don’t believe anything works better for sleep than draining your energy reserves.
I also own a pair of ‘blue light’ glasses I wear in the evening with the goal of helping my brain wind down, they also help me relax. Bukos brand.
Some nights I need a combo of all of the above. The key is to find multiple ways to get to, and stay asleep because the odds are that what works for you today won’t cut it after a few weeks. Diversify your ‘sleep’ toolbox is the take-home message
