After posting my msgs during the middle of the night, I figured, what the hell, I *need* to sleep. I have bowlsful of meds lying around; so, I dissolved two ativan under my tongue, took 60mg of morphine, 2 gravol, an imovane (sleeping pill, has never worked on its own), 2 snorts of butorpanol and 2gm of tryptophan. Within an hour I fell asleep and slept for 5 hours!!! That's the longest continous stretch of sleep I've had in many years. The Beast came back shortly after I got up this morning -- but, I slept, ta-da! And, I must have reached REM because I had several nightmares - either the Beast trying to get through or the meds interacting. Either way, I slept.
