Hi everyone,
Well, it is 4:51 in the morning and I have been awake since 3:00 but that is only because I forgot to take my MS Contin at 6:00 last night so I woke up because of withdrawl and pain. The ambian actually worked great. I would still be out cold if not for forgetting my night pain med. I was having black totally great sleep.
I took the clonazepam in the late afternoon yesterday and then took the ambian at 6:00. I felt like I could lie down and meditate about 7:00. Listened to some music and meditated and fell asleep in about half hour. That is a miracle for me because usually I try to get to sleep for hours. So I was sleeping great and would still be asleep but got woke up from pain because of forgetting my MS Contin. That clonazepam and ambian is really strong for me to forget to take my pain pill. I can usually feel when it wears off but did not notice it until in total problem. So the report is that I think this is going to work good as long as I take all my meds. I know it is a little early to take sleeping meds at 6:00 but I wake up so damn early usually that 6:00 is like I am tired because I have been up since 4:00 am. Ya know?
Hope everybody is doing good today.
