I live in Canada were a possession of a few joints for personal use will not
result in a criminal record but a fine .
My regular doctor works for a clinic run by an hospital.I always have suffered
from insonmia but nothing like the last
few months .My normal cycle lately is to stay awake all night for 3 nights and
then collapse from exaustion on the
fourth night .My regular doctor does not believe i prescribing
Benzodiazepines like ativan,halcion ,or valium ,etc.
I have bugged my doctor about insomnia for a long time.He suggested drugs
like seroquel for Insomnia.Seroquel ,100 mg .Seroquel , in larger dosages,
is used to treat schyzophrenics , who see demons in their rooms ,hear
voices ,think they are God ,etc .I suffer none of the previous delusions
as previously listed . Seroquel works well for insomnia ,but turns you
into vegetable. You lose the ability to cocentrate as far reading technical
books ,following the plot of a " Agatha Christie " like movies .I was rduced to
watching the catoon channel.
I can't stand serquel,and have stopped taking it.
A friend who smokes the odd couple of joints on the weekends GAVE me me 2
joints.
I smoked both of them already . In each case I felt my legs go rubbery,and I
went to bed and slept like a baby for about 6 hours.
Last night I woke up and felt very hungry , I ordered a pizza from a late night
pizza store.
Years ago ,Hacion (2 pills ,0.25mg )worked very well,but now , no doctor will
prescribe it anymore, I tried several docs .
Question ) Why the bias against halcion ?I still believe that somebody that
drinks or smokes Marijuana and drives a car
should be charged fully by the police.What's is your advice ?
Peace to all , terence

So you have Delayed sleep phase onset. It happens.
This is a sleep disorder.
Why are you not being sent for a sleep study?
You are being directed toward Seroquel instead?!
I'd dump that doctor so fast his head would spin...
YMMV,

I know Gravol (dymenhydrinate) can help with sleeplessness but with
insomnia, YMMV...rubbery legs and marijuana? That's one of the
desired side-effects. Lol.
Good luck with the clinic (and as the good doctors will tell you, stay
clear of the meds while you're being tested).
