What the fuck is it with my sleep patterns...

[BruceCM]

Oh, Trainspotting! Great film. My sleep patterns are odd now but not yet a problem.

[Lestat]

I'm not much of a phenergan fan..antipsychotics/dopamine antagonists aren't my thing, although Ive used promethazine to sleep in the past, I don't find it at all effective. Neither are benzos, Z-drugs, or nearly anything else. Only thing that doesn't get screwed with by my weird metabolism are alpha2 adrenoreceptor agonists like clonidine, or the one I get on rx to stop overloads happening, tizanidine..that stuff can KO me easily enough if I take it at night. I have benzo scripts but I don't use them much as they hardly affect me, even in huge doses. Chlormethiazole is a bit better, its barb-like in action, but still I seem highly resistant to either it, or its combination with my two benzo scripts.

I just have weird biochemical makeup.

Phenergan never used to work with helping me sleep but since I take Zeldox (ziprasidone), it does actually help. Last night I took it and I am still feeling the effects today though.

[Lestat]

The two are both dopamine antagonists/antipsychotics but the antipsychotic efficiency of promethazine is pretty weak.

it sounds like your body is on some kind of routine. I have the same problem with sleeping however, latley its been a real bitch to get any meangful sleep at all, have you tried a herb called passion flower? its a mild sedative, the reason i've mention it is because i'm also very sensative to any form of pharmacutical drugs. i'm just too lazy to get some

[Lestat]

I'm hyposensitive to a lot of things, especially all those GABA drugs, I  can't get any damn sleep, and my scripts are running low. Ugh. Passionflower is useless to me mate.

Which is why it is sold over the counter here as an antihistamine, heh.

Don't suppose they've settled down, Lestat?

 Herbs may not be 100% safe either, better ask a pharmacist before using them.

[Lestat]

It is too here renaeden. Where are you from? UK?

[Meadow]

I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping too and don't like taking medication. Not getting to sleep until six or seven in the morning these days.

No, from Australia. My mum tells me that they used to give Phenergan to babies in liquid form. Apparently it is good for travel sickness too.

That is late (or early). Sounds like your body clock is a bit messed up. You may have to kind of reset it by staying up all day (not go to bed at six or seven) and then go to bed that night. It is hard and you will feel awful but it may be the only way to reset your sleep rhythm.
