Trazedone...

It's actually an anti-depressant but they prescribe it a lot as a sleep aid. It's non narcotic, non habit forming. My ex gave up drinking, they prescribed her Trazedone to help get her to sleep, worked like a charm, I'd be blarring the TV right next to hear and she'd be out cold, I took em a few times, great sleep, woke up nice and refreshed, gave me crazy dreams though. Damn now that I think about it, I miss her for her Trazedones...have to call my doc. Just kidding.

Trazedone does work, but a more natural alternative is L-tryptophan. This is the stuff in turkey that can make you drowsy. If I take 1000 mg I sleep the entire night and get to sleep much easier.

Trazedone, BTW, can have some narcotic sides. I've used it before, and it definitely can have those side effects. I would never use a pharmaceutical sleep aid on a nightly basis. They can be habit forming whether they are claimed to be or not.

[AaronJM1984]

Makes sense, I read somewhere that the olny reason that chemical is in turkey is because of the hormones the turkeys recieve. Supposively all natural turkey won't make you sleepy, anyone else ever hear that?

I am still myself looking for a supplement that will keep me asleep all night and maybe cause a little drowiness to help.

Never heard that, but it sounds reasonable. Organic anything is better than the chemical laden crap most of our foods are these days.

tryptophan works good but is pretty expensive. melatonin is cheap and works pretty good imo

[Bren]

hops extract, lavender powder, CoQ10, stack those three and you will sleep like a baby.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

melatonin and ZMA

all u need

[Schmidty]

SHIT! If i knew any good ones id be passed out right now

[AaronJM1984]

I can't remember the supp. I think it was glutamine cancels out the effects of ZMA, someone correct me if I am wrong.
