MindfulMan

For years I took multiple medications, including alcohol and tiny amounts of weed PLUS OTC, herbs and prescription drugs to knock myself out. Only way I could sleep.

I still take trazodone, which is a prescription but doesn't act on GABA like benzos, z drugs and booze do. It just makes me drowsy. It was developed as an antidepressant but was ineffective because the dose where the antidepressant had the desired effect knocked people out.

So going to sleep with minimal chemical assistance....and waking up without a hangover.

Also being at a party at a friend's house and being able to leave whenever I want rather than waiting until I sober up enough to drive home...still would probably have gotten a DUI had I been pulled over.
