I haven't followed this thread for quite a while so feel like I'm trespassing but I need to agree with Milroy. If your having to take drugs to feel better then what's the point? Sure your sleeping better. You're taking Valium or flexiril. You took an amphetamine to wake up? I am an oxy addict myself 6 months clean of all drugs. There is no hierarchy of the evil of drugs. They are all equally evil. If it has an effect on your mental state then for us it is addictive.
You didn't take a pill the night of the 8th and were awake. Why wouldn't you be? Without the sedative your brain doesn't know how to get to sleep on its own.
