I heard they give them provigil (modafinil) to keep them awake and alert!!
ambien cr....maybe?
ambiem, seraquil
Tylenol PM works, ambien, those all help with sleeping. However it seems that I need mroe sleep when using meds for some reason. Maybe because it is almost "fake sleep" in a sense ?
To be alert I would use coffee etc etc.
Trazodone 50mg and Seroquel 50mg is a knockout combo...I promise you will sleep at least 8 hours solid with this combo and neither are considered habit-forming as opposed to benzos or sedative/hypnotics such as ambien and others of the sort.
Why is this question in the steroids forum?
Shit, Trazodone alone will knock you out. I take anywhere from 25-100mg, depending on aniexty levels. This drug is very strong!!!Quote:

But dont forget its also a powerfull psychotropic medication ...along with its own side effects and long term effects. And btw ...Seroquel is prescribed for patients in the psych ward. lol
