years primarily due to exogenous stressors, and have tried many meds....
in my experience Rohypnol was the best sleep med i have ever tried...works great, no hangover, not addictive...
i had a chance to try it in a cancer clinic in a foreign country while visiting a friend.....
when i heard it was being banned in the u.s. i was compelled to wonder if it was simply too good, compared to the alternatives which are less effective, more addictive and more expensive.....
my short trial made me wonder if it were not the last best of the benzodiazepines for sleep, and if there were not economic reasons for its' current status........
i personally do not feel banning this substance will stop date rape, but that a very valuable medication is being denied to people who might need it....
fyi..i am hesitant to post on such a subject, but i like and trust you and respect the work you are trying to do, so i am willing to be honest and open with youi refer you to this citation for further info:
