Nope, something else...
> we shall not discuss it here -- I do not want to get the board into trouble with recreational use stories, plenty of which is available elsewhere
Yeah. Also... I like to think of that as all in my past now. Pays for me not to 'revel in past glories', instead I try and muster up an ashamed feeling. Doesn't always work. But revelling... Gets me craving.
> it is now generally felt that Ambien can be long term used... and Lunesta was created for long term use as well.
Okay. Thanks. I shall have a bit of a look around and maybe suggest some things to the doc. Can only get to a GP...
> We've beaten a dead horse, unicorn, and I keep inventing new phrases.... on the board about tolerance and withdrawal and habituation and addictiveness...
Heh heh. Probably good to stick to standard terminology (makes communication with others a little easier) ;-)
I think you are... It is just that you have a theory of those terms as well :-)
> Imovane... so I gather you're Canadian or European.I'm from Australasia.
> We now have the metally tasty eszopiclone (Lunesta) that is practically advertised on every major station.
Ah so Lunesta is similar... I found a metallic taste in my mouth the next morning that was worse with zo-tab and better (or nonexistent) with imovane. but zo-tab was generic at $3 per three months whereas imovane was under patient at $12.50 per week so i put up with the metallic taste.
> I literally felt like I was being coerced into a womb or something, it was very peaceful.
Mmm. I had something similar with Temazepam. Wonderful wonderful dreams...
Okay... Thanks for that. I guess I'm still trying to figure whether I really need something daily... Or just for episodes... And also whether I should reserve it for *bad* episodes or whether I should make use of it for *moderate* episodes (maybe once or twice a week).
I guess optimal... Might be maybe quarter of a tablet for a *moderate* episode... I guess optimal would be that I'd feel a bit better and be able to do some study or socialising (minus the alchohol! or something)
Thanks very much.
