Sleeping Pills are EVIL!

[Jon]

I never take sleeping pills unless I absolutely have to.. So I needed a full night sleep for something I had to do on Friday. I took a sleeping pill at around 11pm on Thursday night. I woke up TODAY at 3pm!

WHAT THE FUCK?!

1 pill - 50mg - Seroquel

Stay away from this bad boy!

 

[klaxx]

be careful with those kind of pills. Seroquel is supposed to treat bipolar deppresion

 

[oziwagz]

whoa. seroquel doesnt make u sleep that long...i know someone who took 200mg a day and barely got 8 hours...

 

[Infinite Keith]

Melatonin works well. It's a great alternative to sleeping pills.

 

[clashctyrokr]

You slept for 38 hours!?!?

New record...?

 

[BigWill]

trazodone ftw

 

[LogicFlux]

Sure it didn't interact with other meds?

 

[jpet10]

woa woa woa...Thursday night-----> Saturday mid day. im guessin the extra sleep didnt help you with what you needed to do friday, lol.

 

[nachoninja]

try a hot turkey sandwich next time

Melatonin works well for me. Seroquel is like a shotgun blast to the brain.

 

[erect]

I used to make kooloquel (50mg Seroquel+ koolaid) and it's good for days of sedation.

Yes, it's a serious anti-psychotic and yes, it'll knock your ass out for a day. If you wake up during this time, you'll be like the walking dead.

[oziwagz]

[Andrew Scherer]

lol what the fuck what a trip, I want to try this out

 

[knukk]

[TheDean]

i got mixed up with something last night that has left me feeling as vulnerable and poisoned and concerned about neural pathways as you might be feeling.

i'm taking a break from anything but alcohol.

word of advice hydrate, hydrate and hydrate and eat some greasy food.

 

[medicalhumor]

next time give ambien a try. gives you a good rest for 6-8 hours tops

2.5mg sublingual melatonin never fails to knock me out. swallowing it never did anything for me. have to let it dissolve under your tongue.

 

[geekcognito]

Fuck, some of you guys take some scary-sounding shit.

BTW, 38 hours is a long time to sleep but I've slept for ~30 before so it's not unheard of. And that sleep wasn't even drug-induced, I was just tired as fuck from working for a couple of days straight.

Anyway, melatonin works great but if you're into fitness/working out/bodybuilding then take a look at ZMA. I've been taking it for years and it helps my sleep TREMENDOUSLY. Basically, its a blend of shit that you're already supposed to be getting but it also helps make your sleep more productive.

When I'm forced to go without it I can really feel the difference in my day.

Are you totally knocked the fuck out for 38 hours or did you wake up and fall back asleep right away??
