In reply to Sleeping Aids!!, posted by Sarah on February 29, 2000, at 13:12:04

> I am on Adderall and have the typical insomnia. Though, not terrible, can wear me down by the end of the week. I have been researching sleeping aids, but have come up empty! I was given a script of Remeron, but it just wipes me out too badly in the mornings, even taken early the night before. Does anyone have a suggestion? I have my shrink appt in a few hours, so any advice now would be greatly appreciated! I don't want any tetra or triciclic (sp) drugs or anything like those that have the "hangover" effect. Just something to take the edge off in the evenings so I can actually lie down and sleep, not lay there for two hours! Thanks!

kazoo here ...

Of course I remember Edie! Who doesn't?

But first, get the name right: it's Edie Sedgwick Post, whose prominent family lives in Sturbridge Village, MA. The Posts are tied in with the Post cereal company, and are, needless to say, extremely
rich. Little Edie was a spoiled rich bitch who, during the 1960s, rebelled against family tradition and decided to take up residence with Andy Warhol who abused and exploited her name and money. Warhol was
noted for doing such things to people he LIKED. Warhol's recreational drugs of choice were the AMPHETAMINES and HEROIN (cf. Lou Reed); i.e., none of the drugs I mentioned above. Ms. Post died in November 1971 at her home from a HEROIN overdose.
