well here is a weird one. I have terrible problems falling asleep. I can use a benzos for a week or 5 days and it stops working unless I up the dose. So the trap begins. I get several different benzos and rotate. I have never gotten addicted. I am careful and terrified of it.
A few years ago I took some adderall (30mg) one morning. I was going on a long road trip and just felt like being supper alert and awake, cruising along listening to good music. I drove until maybe 10 PM and stopped. This is unusual for me I usually just drive all night on a little coffee. But I got a room,went to bed and watched TV for a few minutes and fell right to sleep. I woke up the next morning and couldn't believe it. I have tried it over and over now maybe 75 times. If I take 30 mg of adderall I fall asleep like a normal person and usually early like 10PM. I'm accustomed to sleeping 2 hours a night or skipping a night completely. At one times a glass f wine would do the trick. Now it does the opposite.
It was really bad sometimes. I would go 3 or 4 days and begin hallucinating, couldn't drive, couldn't work or read because my eyes would not focus after 2 or 3 days. Guess what? Sleep studies don't help if you cannot fall asleep. I tried to explain this to the DR.
My worst time was 5 days without sleep in Ukraine. When I got ff the airplane back in the US I felt like I needed a hospital fast. But I called a ride for home and got a DR friend to come over and put me to sleep..
A true and miserable episode. I never travel without Atavan anymore. Would prefer some addderall from time to time.....
