Ah, Demerol... Yes, it is very dreamy, very lovely. One of my favorite feelings of all times. But only injections, such as in the hospital. I don't do nearly as well with the pills which give me a buzz like all other opiods. Fine if that's what you're looking for, but I'd like to find something that will chill and sedate me when I need it. Tried Klonopin, ativan, valium, librium, valerian, kava kava. Klonopin is probably the best of them but tolerance sets in pretty quickly. Taking 3 gabapentin will work, but only if I haven't had any for awhile. Maybe my GABA receptors are clogged.

I'm so sensitive to antihistamine sedation, that Zyrtec puts me out for days, yet my dad can take Benadryl without getting tired. There are such disparate reactions to medications, even among first degree relatives. It *is* so strange.
