S.A.D.

Anyone got any tips for sad? Seem to get it really bad, body clock goes mental this time of year and get a bit down. Thinking about drugging myself with valium but seems a bit drastic.
 
Edit - seasonal affected disorder

Valium sure as hell aint gonna help, those lamps that gradually wake you in the morning are meant to be very helpful.

its weird, this time every year I  just dont get tired, and dont want to go to bed, dr reckons sad. Val not this time of night but screw this tom going to take some at about 10. You think those light box's really help?? I feel like I've got jet lag.

never mind not got work tom, just got to get up with daughter at about 10 (shes 11 and starting to get the whole teenage sleeping in thing going on) Why you up so late?? A night owl?

lol, my head has always worked better in the small hours if im working on graphics or music stuff lol.
 
Ohh and didn't realise you where using the Valium just to sleep, then that would help, but obviously not going to recommend as a long term solution.  
 
Is their anything youre stressed about?..anxiety or anything like that?

think like me you just dont bother with sleep cu3ed...
 
always here in the early hours i see you online mate.

No worries buddy, temazepam is the best one for sleeping as its short acting, wake up feeling fresh as a daisy but cant find it for sale anywhere (well unless I buy 500 a go) Val stays in the system too long, mind u its good to be chilled sometimes, think I'm going to take 10mg as I feel like I'm going to be up all night, costs me 49 for 50. Only seem to get this prob in the later winter months so not really needed as a long term solution. Does get bothersome mind.

Yeah cheers Johnny ;-)

Truth, i may be wrong so dont quote me mate but i think vit D3 is said to help.
Have a read up on that mate.
Nigepoo has posted about the benifits before if you can find his posts.

Amitriptyline sorted me out bud, not recommending it but worked for me.

I was on that drug for like 5-6 years, started getting really bad sides like when going to sleep would feel like I was falling and waking in a startled fashion, plus it made me feel really tired in the day, thanks for the comment though dementia, appreciated.

I guess I've got nothing to moan about really, get it easy in this part of the world, be a bit tired while cooking breakfast this morning, hardly a hardship really.

Ahhh people and their first world problems Lol.

^^^^^^^ lol

Taken 20mg of val now, and its german, must be good, feel sorry for my daughter in the morning but then again for a 11 year old she is hard as nails and prob pick on me lol, got bacon , egg, beans, mushrooms, toms and toast for her in morning

Chicks with guns cants be bad :-)

How did you come off it? Slowly, quick, how was it when you stopped them?

i am a bad insomniac and really struggling to sleep at the moment
Zopiclone is bar far the best for getting you off and keepng you asleep and you dont feel too bad in the morning 
Vals are better for me than tamazipam which i dont find helps at all
melotonin is also ok but just not strong enough for me that the moment 
 
hopefully before too long i might get an unassisted nights sleep :(

Do you get these from your doctor? Just asking as I find the opposite of everything you've said there lol
