I've been arrested and charged in a non-MM state. I suffer from severe insomnia. I'm a stabilized Wilson Disease patient.
I take 40 mg Paxil in the morning for panic attacks and Seroquel in the evening for sleep/panic. My doctor allows me as much Seroquel as I want, but I've found over the last two years more than 100 mg/day gives me adverse side effects which outweigh the benefit, which doesn't even include regular sleep. Also tried many prescription aids including the antidepressants with a sleep side effect and benzodiazepenes - the only of which worked rather well being diazapam at 4 mg. My current doctor won't perscripe any myself, I'd rather not get addicted.
Sleepy cannabis has been the only thing I've found that consistently helps me keep on a regular sleep schedule. I've tried many herbal aids - skullcap/valarian can help me fall asleep but it l eaves me very groggy the next day. Melatonin in combination with smoking leaves (from sugar leaves and male White Widows I'd chopped but the cops didn't seize worked great until I ran out).
The short of this long question is "Does anybody have suggestions on uncommon natural sleep aids?"
As I can't grow pot anymore, something exotic that I could only obtain by growing would be OK ... in fact, welcomed as I'v.e already exhausted the herbal possibilities I've learned of through doctors, herb counter attendants and gOOGLE.
Thanks!
