In reply to Unisom-2 (DOXYLAMINE) in CANADA (VINCE), posted by myco on January 31, 2009, at 13:16:42
> Hey Vince,

> Unisom-2 (Doxylamine succinate) is available in Canada to buy but difficult to find as diphenhydramine (regular unisom, nite-ol, sleepeeze etc...) has the market cornered. You just have to know where to look. I'm in Alberta. I can mail you a box if you like to try. It's a decent knock out with my nardil but I still often awake in the night...although I am only taking the 1 pill (minimum dose - recommended dose on the box).

>Hummmm thanks ;-) Well, for now it's ok, I finally succeed to talk to my Pharmacist and he said yes about refilling my prescription 7 days before...He will fax an order to my family Doctor about the new dosage I need to take of the Seroquel regular version...
For the Unisom 2, I was award about the avaibility in the Canada...but in the Quebec province, we have to order it...the only place where the Pharmacist wanted to help me to order it was to the WallMart shop...I never go there normally...anyway...
The Seroquel put me asleep for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours in a row, something that nothing before succeed to do on me...even "hyptnotic" drugs like Zopiclone... So the only side-effect I get the morning after is the risidual sedation in the morning, if I have nothing plan in the morning I can return in my bed and sleep another 2 hours without any problems...sometimes I like just to watch TV on the Saturday morning and drink a good coffee...or just open my laptop like I do now, look the news, watch some TV show that I miss during the week time...so I have to drink something like 3 cups of coffee to have some mental energy...The Seroquel also cause some dizness, you really need to concentrate a lot when you get up because you feel a little bit in the fog but that's ok...I mean, I prefer to sleep 6-7 hours in a row and never wake up earlier like I Was doing before...at least, I know I sleep enought and probably the same time than a regular persone with no insomnia problem...I don't feel more energized in the day...but that's ok...I think the depression and anhedonia are the main problem for me now...the social phobia, panic disorder and general anxiety is relayed to the second line plan...
That's so complicated for nothing...Sometimes I wonder why some people, like one of my sister, answer very well to the first AD's they try and why some people like me, have to try everything, have to thinks about newer strategy to improve, follow CBT at the same time, do a lot of research on the internet about drugs, try to find combo of drugs who will help with social phobia and depression or the general anxiety or the panic disorder...
I mean, why in 2009, the medecine research is not more well evoluated and why they don't know exactly how the drugs they put on the market work on the people and witch neurons are implicated in the processus of anxiety and social phobia or depression...I mean I can't believe they don't involve more than this in 50 years... The first MAOI to hit the market as a anti-depressant drug was the Marplan ...who lost a lot of users for the newer TCA's they put on the market at the same time...so that's strange that for now, they do research on drugs who are already on the market but they just wanted to reduce their side-effects profile of them... We all see some example on this board...The Celexa was replaced by the Lexapro...but was not more effective in fact...the newer Pristiq his supposed to be a kind of Effexor more powerfull with a lesser side-effects profile but that's not seem to be the case... The Cymbalta is not very effecvite also...No wonder why people like me return on the old drugs...they work better and give more powerfull results...but that's frustrating a lot...I mean, in 50years, the psychiatricts field don't involve a lot...and all the strategy about drug market and concurency....I mean everything now is about money, they never think about the people who will take their drugs...That's suck..sorry for my poor language...
Anyway...at least, for now i'm off any AD and I can WRITE LONGGGGGGG text like these....lol that's a miracle ! hahaha
Well thanks again for you're offer...maybe one of these day I will ask to try it (Unisom-2)...for now the Seroquel do a good job...I just wonder for how many times he will do it...I just hope I Wll not get addicted of it (psychologic addiction)... lol
Have a nice sunday and take care of you !!!
Bye!
Vincent ;-)
