now you're talking DOES2. Benzos ALWAYS help me fall asleep. diazepam (valium) is the weaker of the benzos with me, but alprazolam (xanax) and/OR lorazepam (ativan) ALWAYS DO THE TRICK. trade him a couple tabs for some diazepam. if that doesn't help you sleep, and neither does a nice bowl of ganj, then my advice is to........ um...... find some more advice i guess, cuz i'm all out. when ALL ELSE FAILS AND I HAVE NOTHING AT ALL, diphenhydramine always comes to my aid and takes me to dreamland..... but then again, i never really have trouble falling asleep on opiates anyway. i've heard this a lot and it used to occur with me, but then it just stopped. maybe it's cuz i wised up and now always take enough to nod from the get-go
