A lot of sources say this new class of drug will be very useful. I am not so sure. Belsomra which seems to be the only one out at the moment is getting some bad reviews.

Perhaps there will be another however in this class that helps, it sure would be good to switch from using some of the more old-school heavy stuff (when I need it).

Here is a good article on the future of sleep medication: http://mentalhealthdaily.com/2015/06/30/new-sleeping-pills-2015-orexin-receptor-antagonists/

 
Thanks for the article. I have never found a sleeping pill that really works well. I will be interested to see how these are received.

Although not related to the article, I am starting to suspect that my mattress is adding to my sleep deprivation. I'm sleeping better in hotel rooms.

 
It would be nice to have a benzo alternative so we could take long breaks from benzos and reduce tolerance. With chronic severe insomnia benzos are the only drug that help me fall asleep and i call sleep initiators and things like antihistamines i find ineffective on their own but when combined with benzos help me to sustain my sleep and help me sleep deeper.

My insomnia started after a couple of nasty viral infections close together 14 yrs ago.

 
We will see when this Belsomra gets going. It has had a lot of bad review so far. But apparently works quite well if you dose 40mg. My question is what are the side effects. Certain sleepers I don't bother with because their side effects are about the same as not sleeping at all!

The idea with these new ones is that they just target a smaller part of the brain instead of shutting down your whole cns.

The cost is also a big factor with belsomra.

  2. shoutback @ shoutback: Coach will get Woolen straightened out.
  3. shoutback @ shoutback: Yessir but I think he may have matured and he is showing steadiness during crunch time. All you can ask of anyone. He has answered the call so far.
  4. M @ meepmoopmeep: Darnold sometimes does Darnold things but otherwise a skilled QB
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: @shoutback he seriously needs to be benched for being a jackass who almost cost the seahawks the game
  6. shoutback @ shoutback: @meepmoopmeep that Woolen situation was atrocious
  7. shoutback @ shoutback: 2018 draft
  8. shoutback @ shoutback: At least football is something we all can agree on. I'm happy for Darnold. Crazy to think he is the 1st of that 2018 to make it to the SB
  9. shoutback @ shoutback: Squack Squack mfers lol j/k but yeah go fucking Seahawks!
  10. M @ meepmoopmeep: sad that the rams aren’t advancing but saw it coming from a mile away. go seahawks!
  11. shoutback @ shoutback: GO HAWKS!
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: Stidham played well enuff to win until that late pick that ended it ;( hate the pats hope Sammy and the Seahawks can handle em that defense is fierce but the offense isn’t as explosive as the rams and obviously he ain’t the caliber of Matthew stafford but anyways, go Hawks!!!
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: But the hawks played better and earned their SB spot
  14. M @ meepmoopmeep: Riq Woolen being an absolute clown and handing the rams a TD for unsportsmanlike behavior at the sidelines
  15. shoutback @ shoutback: What about them HAWKS!
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Come on Stidham!
  17. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Now that's interesting...
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: McCarthy to the yinzers
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: *offensive line
  20. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: I'm very happy with it. He was in our building for a few years, followed Mike MacDonald path and let's fucking do it! Pass rush has been our biggest issue besides online.
