Actually, once you get use to nitrazepam it's fantastic for SP but you really don't want to be trying that trick out at all unless you have a very good understanding of how benzo's work for you. It's not something you pop and go out on straight away. You'll pass out cold as it is a powerful hypnotic. Once you get use to it though it can work for SP for a select few. Mainly people who have a strong tolerance to benzo's. I'd hate for someone to try that and wake up in a gutter somewhere, just be careful as it's very closely related to Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) I've put my warning out. One of my friends still uses it for SP but you absolutely cannot mix it with alcohol if you are going to use it this way and go out and drink, it will end in tears.
Link, if I remember correctly you're in Canada. It's available there, and if you haven't already tried it for insomnia, I'd definitely ask you pdoc for some. If you're using a low dose of clonazepam for sleep, nitrazepam might be great for you. It's also closely related to clonazepam but much, much better for sleep. You can take it later too, even with the looming feeling that it's going to be one of those nights. I get that same feeling that you do re insomnia, I can usually tell by mid afternoon. You actually don't need to take it at first until 1-2 hours before you want to go to bed.
It's not available in the US.
Ed, you must have tried it in the UK?
I haven't had any for months and since I've started bupropion I'm not sleeping that well at the moment. If I have a break from it, it can work again for me.
