Another sleep issue questions

i've been taking 3/4th of a .25mg seroquel nightly which works for sleep and stopping the ruminating, repeating thoughts in my head. last nite we went to our health club holiday party which had about 600 members attending...very very noisy, having sensory overload and knew it would be a rough nite getting to sleep. i took the full .25mg of seroquel which did nothing and after about 2 hrs. of no sleep, i took a .5mg klonopin. it barely worked. my question is when you know you're really hyped up more than usual and know sleep won't come using your usual drugs, what works best for you. spent the entire a.m. and early p.m. sleeping off the drugs and trying to catch up on all the missed sleep.

Medicinal marijuana, Amitriptyline, and Zyprexa PRN all work well. Marijuana works best from the standpoint of being well-slept and ready for work and physical activity in the morning.

i asked my p/doc about medical marij. but he refused to write an rx. i have other health issues. who wrote your rx and was it for bipolar? am in az. and they passed the law that it can be sold legally.

A separate marijuana doctor, not my p-doc.

That marijuana doctor was actually quite correct in her prediction. I said that I intended to use marijuana for migraines and insomnia. She said that I would most likely find relief from insomnia and might find relief from migraines. So she assigned a higher likelihood to finding relief from insomnia.

My experience? It works beautifully for sleep but does not work for migraines. But I do not complain, because, thank god, I do not get migraines daily and sleep is something I need daily.

because u r in cal. Am sure there are many marij.drs. How does one go about finding one?thanks for your help.

I searched on google, "marijuana doctor" + city name.

If you get a prescription, I recommend (and my doctor recommended) that you eat marijuana or buy capsules that look like vitamin E, because smoking is detrimental to your health. There are also people who use a vaporizer, which is safe, but requires expensive equipment.

am researching med. Marij. Drs. Right now. Thanks for all the info. U have offered. I never had sleep issues in the past even before being diagnosed/treated fror bp2 but for last year or so insomnia has been a nightly occurrence. Am female, 66 yr. Old
