I have used the drug and have done for the last 4 or 5 months. I use it about 5 nights out of 7, and have experienced the things you talk about! Including the writing pages of total nonsense!!!! It all seemed so important at the time and I remember thinking how pleased I would be in the morning that I managed to get it all down on paper!! Anyway...!

As you say, Paul, it can be quite good fun to stay up and wait until the effects take place, after having a couple of 10mg tabs (How much did you take?) and do daft things.

However, my sleeping problem reminded me why I take the drug, and so I rarely do that - now I take one or one & half 10mg tablets and read for 15 mins, before closing my eyes and normally dropping off - so I am lucky it still works after the period of time I have used it.

My question to you Paul, is, do you see a problem with using it provided it is done in a sensible way? And how have you managed to sleep with no assistance?

For the record, my mind is very active and tends to keep me awake for hours after I get in bed, thinking of things that have happened to me that day, or in the past...whethet they be happy or depressing thoughts, they always keep me awake...

Cheers

Steve
