For me CBD oil was a waste of my money I am in a lot of pain from Peripheral Neuropathy from Statin Use. I tried 5 brands and think they are selling watered down junk. Then Dr. Marcola came out with hemp seed oil and it was good but did nothing for my pain.
Been a while since this post...but do you have a recommendation for blue light glasses?
No prescription med or supplement (likely) will help insominia more than meditation during the day( before 5 pm) and you could use a yoga nidra script on youtube to help. There is also an app for hypnosis called Reveri that is effective.
Ya definitely. I haven’t researched this subject in a bit, cuz I did a bunch of research on the best glasses a few years ago, bought a few pairs, and they’ve lasted me since then. But I highly recommend Blublox glasses. Just checked their website and looks like they changed their name. Same company tho. And looks like their prices went up a bit. But they’re having a 25% off sale atm. Here’s the pair that I wear every night. I originally bought a pair that have red lenses but the style looks more like regular glasses. Ended up ordering a pair of the ones in the link so it would also block out any peripheral light. Have had both pairs for at least a few years now. They make really good products
Thanks man. Good grief though...that price! I'm going to keep shopping around, but I appreciate it.
did you see my post on your thread? I bought mine for 9 bucks on amazon. When you get up to pee at night, if you do.. throw em on and your sleep isnt messed up by the bright lights. Or you can buy an ambient red light.
Yes! Thanks. Just didn't get a chance to respond. I appreciate it.
Melatonin works very well at making people drowsy and begin to fall asleep. It does not generally keep you asleep all night, but can for hours depending on the dose. It really effects some people like me very well, so if you do try it, start out with very low dose, and gradually increase. that means splitting the 1 mg tablet in half, and try that, and then go up gradually. I mean it has been a game changer for me. I have found my optimal was a 1 mg, puts me to sleep easily, and keeps me out for hours. if I do get up a night, I can usually fall back asleep quickly too. Its good stuff and safe.
Just my experience with ambien for anyone reading this or contemplating taking this drug. I took the lowest dose for 9 months, four to five days per week. I began having interdose withdrawals early in but didn’t attribute it to the drug because I thought it was “safe”. According to my doctor and several reputable medical websites, the risk for dependency was non-existent or close to it. I had severe withdrawals for months upon cessation of the drug and didn’t feel normal until 13 or 14 months after my last pill. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a benzo in disguise. I have ptsd from the experience and now approach any pharmaceutical with extreme caution. I’m okay with testosterone (although not 100 percent since artificially elevating it disrupts other hormones) since it’s naturally occurring, but I generally steer clear now of anything synthetic (in this case meaning a chemical not naturally occurring in the body).
Temazepam, though, is another benzodiazepine, and they're all addictive. Been on clonazepam, at various dosages, for nearly two decades. Though I've been able to lower the dose, getting off of it is still elusive nor does it work as well as it did years ago. With treatment resistant bipolar, unfortunately, benzos are the only class of drug I tolerate. My psychiatrist has suggested being evaluated for a medical mj card.
this is not true. any benzo or so called 'Z' drugs (they target a specific subunit of the gaba receptor, while benzos the entire unit) have a very high potential to cause extreme physical dependence. now, there is exceptions for some people, as they do not seem to be affected as bad.
